In the advent of changes to HIPAA and the roll out of Affordable Care Act, the Health IT market is exploding in growth because patients are demanding mobile access to their medical records. Due to this demand, Patient Health Information (PHI) will be everywhere, making the risks astronomical. Medical professionals are beginning to recognize these risks. And unfortunately, so are hackers and criminals.
Robert Zimmerman, QiP Solutions' Managing Director of Health Information Technology, moderated a thought-provoking panel discussion titled "Why Risks to Small Providers Pose a Risk to All" at the second annual Health Privacy & Security Forum, presented by HIMSS Media and Health Information Technology News on September 24 in Boston.
Zimmerman was joined by Anna M. Gard, RN, FNP-BC, Health IT and Quality Consultant with the Association for the Underserved.
