Event Teaser:

This Privacy & Security Forum delivers what CIOs, CISOs and other healthcare IT leaders told us they want from an industry conference: peer-to-peer learning, case studies and forums to brainstorm and share ideas.

To those shirking their HIPAA privacy and security duties: get ready to pay up. That’s the message the Department of Health and Human Services is sending after it set records Wednesday for imposing the largest HIPAA monetary fine to date on two entities found to be seriously lacking in the security arena.
