Privacy and Security Information security and patient privacy are fundamental components of a wellfunctioning healthcare environment. HIMSS provides resources to assist healthcare organizations and business associates with their privacy and security initiatives.
Privacy and Security Privacy and Security is one of the first and most crucial steps in expediting care in Sara s health journey. When the ambulance arrives at the scene, EMTs quickly access Sara s condition and call ahead to the Emergency Department to let them know that Sara Brown, a 45-year old woman, was coming in with stroke symptoms. A consent form, signed by Sara, allows hospital admissions to use a Health Information exchange (HIE) to request Sara Brown s medical information. Now, with Sara s consent, all of her correct vital information and patient records are present in the Emergency Department Electronic Medical Record before she even arrives. Since Sara s vital information is only entered once the results is: reduced errors, increased patient safety and improved quality of care.
What does Cyber look like now? Hacktivists Nation state actors (e.g., N. Korea, China, Iran, Russia, etc.) Malicious & negligent insiders (a complex problem) Destructive malware (not just adware) Mainstream media & trade press reports Hollywood Movies & TV
The Evolving Threat Space Threats - Multi-dimensional - The equation to be solved is complex Malicious insiders + phishing attacks + nation state activity
Occam's Razor The scientific principle that, all things being equal, the simplest answer is usually the right one. When trying to explain or prove something, we should refrain from making more assumptions than are necessary.
The Evolving Threat Space Occam s razor Unencrypted data Very weak passwords Unsecured wireless connections Significant, well-known vulnerabilities + effective exploits Phishing (exploit the human) Elicitation (befriend the human) Aging IT infrastructure (exploit the tech)
Pathways to Solutions Public-private partnerships Secure the human & technology Know & predict the threats Cross-sector engagement Work with the government Innovation Stay ahead of the threat with automation/ai Current threats, predicted threats Train & prepare for the event (even if it never happens)
Cyber Threat Intelligence in Health Care As a result of these sophisticated cyber threats, health care organizations are realizing that their current cybersecurity programs are not sufficient to prevent, detect, respond and recover from the current level of cyber attacks. Healthcare organizations are working hard to make needed improvements. One resource healthcare organizations should make use of is cyber threat intelligence (CTI). Lee Kim JD, FHIMSS
Cyber Threat Intelligence in Health Care Specific, detailed, actionable data about cyber threats, cyber threat actors, malware, vulnerabilities, and indicators of compromise (IOC). Simply put, cyber threat intelligence is all about helping the healthcare organization improve its security posture based on accurate, detailed information on the current cybersecurity threats. Lee Kim JD, FHIMSS
Cyber Threat Intelligence in Health Care In light of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, healthcare organizations should evaluate the effectiveness of their cybersecurity program and make improvements where appropriate. Consider how cyber threat intelligence can help your healthcare organization to improve the ability to prevent, detect, respond and recover from cyber attacks. Lee Kim JD, FHIMSS
Health Business Solutions Identifies and promotes the effective use of financial and administrative systems for healthcare organizations.
Health Business Solutions Financial management of healthcare is an important concern for Sara and her family. In addition to worrying about Sara s care, Mike wanted to ensure they could manage the financial costs. Through Health Business Solutions the hospital was able support Mike and Sara by getting them real time financial information on the costs of the care she was receiving. Helping the family finding financial solutions allowed them to focus on Sara s healthcare and not the cost.
Health Business Solutions Committee Purpose Statement Health Business Solutions Committee identifies and promotes the effective use of financial and administrative systems for healthcare organizations. Building on the historical work of the Medical Banking and Financial Systems Committee, the Committee will work collaboratively with others to understand and define the points of intersection of finance and administrative systems across the healthcare continuum.
Health Business Solutions Areas of Focus ICD-10: Concentrates on the development of tools and resources (ICD-10 Playbook) that will equip HIMSS membership with preparation for and implementation of ICD-10. The targeted HIMSS audience for these tools may include but is not limited to ambulatory providers, hospital/enterprise providers, payers, software vendors and clearinghouses.. Financial Privacy and Security: Examines the current deployment of risk management and security controls within the financial services industry and analyzes how these could be leveraged to facilitate the nation s goals for ehealth. Revenue Cycle Improvement: Create a vision for the next generation of revenue cycle management business processes and tools that will keep administrative cost containment, interoperability and consumer engagement front and center. Task Force members include a cross-section of representatives from provider organizations, payer organizations, financial institutions, retail clinics, and a variety of revenue cycle vendors and consultants.
Patient Engagement Patients can take control of their health and health information by leveraging capabilities and connectivity of a personal health record and utilize the work of an alliance of health device manufacturers.
Patient Engagement Understanding her medical care and treatments was an important step in making the right healthcare decisions for Sara and Mike. While Sara was recovering in the hospital Mike, with Sara s permission, was following her care through an app on his ipad. Through a private and secure patient portal, Mike was able to see her labs, tests, and plans of care through the hospital stay. When it was documented that Sara was allergic to a medication, Mike was able to correct it quickly, which helped keep the record accurate. When Sarah went home, they shared the patient portal with their primary care provider to collaborate on Sara s recovery path. Healthcare providers working together with Sara and Mike contributed to a quicker recovery time and a better outcome for all.
Frost & Sullivan estimates that patient portals will grow 221% through 2017.
Consumers are Demanding a LOT from Health IT Cloud access to their detailed patient records Email accessibility to their providers and staff Ability to use their personal health record (PHR) Control access Maintain records Import data from pharmacy and labs Pay bills
This is our goal, is it happening now? Friend is being treated at two health systems, both have the same EHR, PHR When he logged into the second PHR, it prompted him, asking if he agreed to integrate his two medical records. He agreed. The next time he saw his specialist at the first facility, she noticed that his records from the other system had been integrated into his record Lessons: Health information exchange (HIE) works Should be driven by the patient s consent Leads to a more engaged patient This is what Meaningful Use is about
Patient Engagement Further Defined We define engagement as actions individuals must take to obtain the greatest benefit from the healthcare services available to them This definition focuses on behaviors of individuals Relative to their healthcare That are critical and proximal to health outcomes Rather than the actions of professionals or policies of institutions
Meaningful Use Stage 2 Provide patients the ability to view online, download and transmit their health information within four business days of the information being available to the EP (for EPs only) More than 50% of all unique patients seen by the EP are provided timely online access to their health information Provide patients the ability to view online, download and transmit their health information within 36 hours after discharge from the hospital (for Eligible Hospitals/CAHs only) Use secure electronic messaging to communicate with patients on relevant health information (for EPs only) More than 5% of all unique patients seen
Patient Engagement fit with Strategy New Payment Models Patient Centered Medical Home Accountable Care Organizations To achieve these successfully, patient engagement essential
The Future of Patient Engagement
The Future of Patient Engagement
Patient Engagement is key to Meaningful Use Stage 2 Reaching the 5% participation threshold is a challenge Integration of patient engagement into a strategic initiative is the key There is growing evidence that patient engagement impacts medical outcomes
Interoperability HIMSS is continually working to provide crucial tools for achieving interoperability and implementing standards in all areas of Health IT integration, including clinical and nonclinical information.
Interoperability Health information exchange was an important factor in ensuring the right information was available to all providers working on Sara s care. The hospital Sara was admitted to had implemented standards in all areas of Health IT integration, including clinical and non-clinical information. This infrastructure allowed for a seamless flow of information between physicians, hospital systems and Sara s own electronic medial record. Health IT interoperability help Sara and her doctors achieve crucial health information exchange.
Interoperability
The Connected Healthcare System http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fmsy89ejjuy/tpenyfestbi/aaaaaaaaa7s/y7slqnsh8hi/s1600/20101205-0873lkfhc10_creationnation-s.jpg
Interoperability Defined In healthcare, interoperability is the ability of different information technology systems and software applications to communicate, exchange data, and use the information that has been exchanged. For two systems to be interoperable, they must be able to exchange data and subsequently present that data such that it can be understood by a user. Data exchange schema and standards should permit data to be shared across clinicians, lab, hospital, pharmacy, and patient regardless of the application or application vendor.
Foundational interoperability allows data exchange from one information technology system to be received by another and does not require the ability for the receiving information technology system to interpret the data. Structural interoperability is an intermediate level that defines the structure or format of data exchange (i.e., the message format standards) where there is uniform movement of healthcare data from one system to another such that the clinical or operational purpose and meaning of the data is preserved and unaltered. Semantic interoperability provides interoperability at the highest level, which is the ability of two or more systems or elements to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.
CONSUMER PROVIDER VENDOR Interoperability and standards ensures that your health information moves seamlessly and in a standardized manner between all of your healthcare providers. Your information follows you wherever you go, allowing your provider to have the right information at the right time to make informed clinical decisions. Interoperability aims to create a common framework for information sharing designed to optimize clinical workflow and improve patient care. Electronic health record systems implemented using interoperable technology and standards can streamline your flow of clinical information, reduce errors and improve efficiency. Interoperability product testing and certification programs will enable you to achieve optimal levels of interoperability, accelerating the alignment of healthcare provider needs with regulatory requirements.
Over $30 Billion to be saved by achieving Medical Device Interoperability

Analytics HIMSS Analytics supports improved decision making for healthcare organizations, healthcare IT companies and consulting firms by delivering high quality data and analytical expertise.
Analytics Having the right information, at the right time, available to Sara s doctors helped improve decision making in her overall care. There were many treatments for Sara s stroke. The physicians used the information available to them through analytics to see what would be the best care for her by comparing her demographics to large databases of patient information, or population health. Using analytics to help support Sara s doctor make informed medical decisions, improved the quality of care she received.
