Executive Presentation on adhering to Healthcare Industry complianceThomas Bronack
Thomas Bronack of Data Center Assistance Group proposes assisting healthcare providers in adhering to regulatory requirements regarding workplace security, violence prevention, and workflow management. The proposal outlines new compliance regulations around patient privacy, security, and freedoms as well as penalties for non-compliance. Bronack would perform risk assessments, implement physical and data security controls, and provide training and awareness to help organizations achieve Joint Commission accreditation and compliance.
Regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, HITECH, and Meaningful Use establish standards for protecting patient health information and incentivizing adoption of electronic health records. Security frameworks such as NIST and ISO provide best practices for information security controls. Recent case studies show common HIPAA violations include unencrypted devices, email phishing, and improper access controls. Current topics in healthcare cybersecurity include implementing the basics of risk assessment, policies, and technical controls; evaluating risks from business partners; and protecting against ransomware through regular patching and backups.
The HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ electronic personal health information that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity. The Security Rule requires appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of electronic protected health information. The Security Rule is located at 45 CFR Part 160 and Subparts A and C of Part 164.
HIPAA Security Rule list 28 adminstrative safeguards, 12 Physical safeguards, 12 technical safeguards along with specific organization and policies and procedures requirements. EHR 2.0 HIPAA security assessment services help covered entities to discover the gap areas based on the required and addressable requirements.
There are two main rules for HIPAA. One is a rule on privacy and the other on Security.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information, and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The Rule also gives patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, and to request corrections. The Privacy Rule is located at 45 CFR Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164.

Understanding the security_organizationDan Morrill
This document discusses risks in information security from regulatory, business, technology, and security perspectives. It outlines how decisions are made based on existing contracts and perceived power rather than technical understanding. Risk is defined as threats times vulnerabilities plus the influence of politics and power. Both proactive and reactive security approaches are discussed along with their limitations. Information security challenges include complexity, unknown vulnerabilities, and persistence of hackers. Overall risk management must account for known and unknown threats within organizational politics.
When it comes to intrusions and breaches, most security teams take a short-game view. This means that they look at events as discrete and individual and focus efforts on short-term goals. While not universally detrimental, this view does harm the overall security of an organization in the "long game”. Additionally, “active defense” has been hopelessly confused by marketing hype even though its meaning is powerful to security’s operational goals.
This talk focuses on how enterprise security defenders can adjust their mindset, refocus, and beat adversaries by leveraging active defense over the long game. The basis of this talk is the extensive research done in support of the threat intelligence solution blueprint, a comprehensive guide to understanding, architecting, operationalizing and maturing a threat intelligence program.

10. Major Causes of Breaches of PHI in 2010
Breaches over 500 records:
• Theft and loss were the most common reported
causes of large breaches.
• Among the 207 breaches that affected 500 or more
individuals, 99 incidents involved theft of paper
records or theft of electronic media
• This accounted for records of 2,979,121 individuals.
• Loss of electronic media or paper records affected
approximately 1,156,847 individuals
- OCR Report to Congress on Breaches of
Unsecured Information, 2011 9
11. Risk Assessments
• 25% of healthcare organizations do not conduct security
risk assessments
– HIMSS 2011 Security Study
• 39% of healthcare organizations do not or are not sure if
they perform a risk assessment
– Ponemon Study, 2011
10
12. Business Associates and Breaches
Due to the high volume of records handled, a
breaches from business associates translate
into a disproportionate number of patients
affected:
• Business associates involved in 22% of the
breaches
• But this 22% accounts for 63% of all patients
affected by the breaches
11
15. HITECH and Privacy and Security
• Established Chief Privacy Officer for the Office
of the National Coordinator
• Increased fines for breaches
• Created mandatory fines for willful neglect
• Created Mandatory Breach Notification Rule
• Established basis for Meaningful Use
14
16. Meaningful Use and Privacy and Security
MU Stage 1 requires eligible providers and hospitals to
• Conduct or review a security risk analysis in
accordance with the requirements under 45 CFR
164.308(a)(1) and implement security updates as
necessary and correct identified security deficiencies
as part of its risk management process.
• No exclusion.
15
17. Enforcement
• OCR has begun systematic audits of 150
organizations
• CMS and Meaningful Use audits for
Incentive funds are set to begin
16
18. Enforcement: Large organizations
• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee (BCBST)
settled with OCR for $1,500,000 for the theft of
57 hard drives to theft, March 13, 2012
• Hard Drives contained names, social security
numbers, diagnosis codes, DoB and Plan ID #s for
over 1 million individuals
• Caused by failure to implement appropriate
physical access controls

24. The Real Loss – Patient Trust
Beyond Compliance and Return on Investment,
Ensuring Patient Privacy is Just the Right Thing to Do
23
25. Good Business: Patient Trust
The ROI for Breach Prevention
Diminished productivity and financial consequences
due to a breach can be severe. Organizations reported:
• The potential result is patient churn; the average
lifetime value of one lost patient is $113,400
• Economic impact
• Loss of time and productivity
• Diminishment of brand or reputation
• LOSS OF PATIENT GOODWILL
- Ponemon, “Second Annual Benchmark Study

26. Developing a Privacy and Security Culture
Challenges:
• Providers and Staff may have little understanding
of new technology and privacy and security issues
• Providers and Staff are reticent about asking
questions or for assistance
• Adopting new software and workflow in the fast-
moving healthcare culture is difficult
• Vendors may assume that providers and staff
understand privacy and not adequately train
25
27. Strategies
• Executive Leadership Communicate Essential Value
• Privacy and Security Metrics are included in Employee
Performance Plans/Evaluations
• Considered as part of physical environment, patient care,
and all communications
• Staff are made to feel comfortable in asking questions
and for help, resources are widely and freely available
• Training, is regular and updated and an essential part of
the overall strategic plan
• Continuous Improvement and audits completed and
results communicated to all
