RICHMOND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 1999--Healthcare leaders will converge this week in New York City to discuss the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, also known as HIPAA. ABC News Medical Editor, Dr. Timothy Johnson will join speakers and panel experts from renown providers and payers, as well as legislative leaders, to address the impact of the proposed legislation. The event, hosted by QuadraMed Corporation, will focus on HIPAA's impact on the delivery of healthcare, specifically the security and confidentiality of personal medical records. The summit--which boasts more than 170 confirmed attendees from the provider, payer and financial communities--will demonstrate a biometric security solution, enabling hospitals to secure access to confidential medical records using a physician's unique thumbprint. "It is not too early for organizations to begin documenting policies and procedures for information security and compiling them into a flexible, HIPAA compliant plan," said James Durham, chairman and chief executive officer at QuadraMed. "As organizations move through the compliance process, they should continue to track both federal and state regulations and assume that the most stringent standards will be adopted."businesswire.com steve
