HIMSS Annual Security Survey Results
HIMSS, working with HIMSS Analytics, has conducted a survey of healthcare organizations regarding security implementation practices and technology uses.
Now in its second year, the 2009 HIMSS Security Survey, sponsored by Symantec reports the opinions of IT and security professionals from healthcare provider organizations across the US regarding key issues surrounding the tools and policies in place to secure electronic patient data at healthcare organizations. The study was designed to collect information on a multitude of topics regarding organizations' general security environment, including access to patient data, access tracking, and audit logs, security in a networked environment, use of security in a networked environment and medical identity theft. This year, we have also probed our respondents with regard to their preparedness and approach for meeting new privacy and security requirements contained in The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
