Balancing Practice With Compliance in Healthcare IT

Healthcare organizations today must manage two diametrically opposed sets of requirements: the practitioner's need for ease of access to information versus the business's need to apply increased privacy and security controls against that data. Establishing too much security and the organization degrades its ability to provide effective and efficient patient care; too little and the organization faces legal and civil penalties. Finding the right balance requires innovation and a strategy that continuously enhances security over time and in a layered approach.
