HIMSS National - STEPS to Value Podcast
Episode #8: The Importance of Trust: Health Data Security
What defines HIT value? What actions drive its realization? In an age of boundless innovation & constrained budgets, optimizing the use of technology to realize clinical and operational benefits is a bottom-line necessity in both local & global markets. The HIMSS podcast series, STEPS to Value, highlights the stories of thought leaders who have successfully managed technology, organizational culture and policy to develop innovative processes that maximize the value of their technology investments.
In this episode, we focus on the role data security & privacy management plays in driving trust amongst clinicians and patients alike. We speak Sriram Bharadwaj, CISSP, CLSSBB, CPHIMS, Director, Information Services at UC Irvine Health & Chair of the HIMSS Privacy & Security Committee about the concept of trust in a health data security environment. We also sit down with Lee Kim. Director, Technology Solutions here at HIMSS about current health IT privacy & security trends.
