ICSA - Compliance, Incentives and Penalties: Hot Topics in US Health IT

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the HITECH Act recently celebrated their second anniversary since they were signed into law by President Obama. It has only been one year since the law became effective, but Uncle Sam means business. Health Information Management (HIM) and Information Technologies (IT) departments in the Healthcare Provider industry now have increased privacy, security, reporting, compliance and remediation requirements. CFOs are struggling with how to fund these requirements. Adoption of new Electronic Health Records (EHR) technology does offer substantial financial incentives through 2016.

It has been called the present day “moon launch” as the Federal appropriations funding the program match the scale of those for the original moon launch. Failure to adopt and comply can also mean financial penalties. Violations of HIPAA regulations can lead to fines, penalties and even criminal convictions with prison sentences. Delays and failure are no longer tolerated outcomes. This paper examines some aspects of the state of the USA’s HIT (Health IT) with respect to security.

As an incubator, we have a shared services environment but that doesn't mean that we want everything, such as intellectual property, between our customers shared. It was therefore critical that we have a solution to securely partition each customer's network but still allow for shared resources such as printers and Internet access. Fortinet's FortiGate systems enabled us to achieve this by virtualizing network security, which also helped free-up network bandwidth and increase our network performance.
