ADVISORY/Clinton Signs Healthcare Privacy Rule into Law, Raising Questions about Future Privacy and Protection for Confidential Health Info
(BW HealthWire)--
What: The proposed rule that suggest standards for the privacy of
individual health information and the use of electronic signatures
for health organizations was signed into law today by President
Clinton. The rule falls under the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), which was passed by Congress on August
21, 1996. With Clinton's signature, the rule now has the force of
law. The security and digital signatures experts at Entrust
Technologies Inc. are available to explain exactly what healthcare
organizations must do to comply with these rules, and how proven
technology can help bring these organizations into compliance with
HIPAA.
Why: Many people are concerned with the privacy and security issues
raised by the HIPAA rules. The Privacy Standards as passed today
under HIPAA apply to health plans, health care providers and
health care clearinghouses. These health organizations must have
means for identifying people who access critical health
information, must show audit trails for all logged information,
and must encrypt all patient-identifiable information before
sending it over public networks. According to Gartner Group,
public-key infrastructure (PKI) is an ideal technology for
building HIPAA compliance
Who: Entrust Technologies executives can explain the technical and
legislative issues surrounding the HIPAA rule. In addition,
Personal Path and Medtegrity are just two of the partners who can
explain how they currently use Entrust solutions for secure and
authorized access to information. Interview candidates include: |
