Leading California Healthcare Providers Invest in Automated Privacy
Auditing
University of California San Diego Medical Center to Deploy
FairWarning® Privacy Surveillance Software to Enhance Existing Privacy
Auditing Processes
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 20, 2008 --
FairWarning, Inc., the world’s leading supplier of cross-platform
healthcare privacy surveillance solutions, today announced they have
been selected by the University of California San Diego Medical Center
to further automate patient privacy auditing.
“UCSD Medical Center has deployed various tools to ensure the privacy
and security of our patient’s data. By adding FairWarning® to our
environment, we are adding a degree of sophistication to our review of
massive amounts of information to help us ensure the privacy of our
patients’ protected health information,” said Ed Babakanian, Chief
Information Officer, UCSD Medical Center.
Creating a culture of privacy, security and compliance is a rising
priority for California healthcare organizations as new state privacy
and discovery laws were put in place during 2008. Recently signed
California bills AB 211 and SB 541 levy fines against individuals as
well as healthcare organizations involved in medical record snooping.
These activities are in addition to increased federal government
enforcement of HIPAA and the expansion of the FTC Identity Theft Red
Flag rules to include healthcare providers.
“The strongest and most vigilant of California’s healthcare providers
are taking patient privacy and recently passed legislation very
seriously by furthering investment in their privacy auditing processes,”
said Kurt Long, Chief Executive Officer of FairWarning, Inc.,
“FairWarning® is privileged to be working with forward moving
organizations like UCSD Medical Center on their privacy and compliance
initiatives.”
