It takes more than hope to protect PHI

Safeguarding patient health information is challenging and often exceeds human capacity. At HIMSS21, Aaron Miri and David Ting will discuss the need to automate guidelines for protecting PHI and provide real-time methods for data protection. The decentralized nature of healthcare has increased IT vulnerabilities, and the panelists emphasize the importance of securing clinical workflows and using holistic frameworks. They encourage healthcare leaders to embrace automation and prioritize risk reduction. The session, “PHI Timebombs: A CIO’s Approach to Reducing PHI Risk,” will take place on August 12.
