Government as the Health IT Security Standard

1105 Government Information Group presents Gail Belles, director of the Health Care Security Requirements Service at the Veterans Health Administration, Khalid Kark, security analyst with Forrester Research, and Steve Lubniewski, Vice President of Lockheed Martin Health Solutions, in ths presentation where they discuss how the government's experience with securing digital health records can inform the health care debate.

Since the dawn of the information age, the government has been quick to realize the national security implications of the cyber threat. Often, safeguards and practices which are used to secure specific government programs become industry standards. Today, as the debate over health care reform hinges on the role of government in this critical area, proponents of health IT have pointed to the digitizing of medical records as a major area of reform. Opponents cite the security and privacy concerns inherent.

This presentation addresses:

• The current state of health records management across the country;
• The scope of the cyber threat to digital health records;
• The evolving mission of the government in health care;
• Examples of digital health records systems at government agencies;
• Recommendations and suggestions for a digital health records' cybersecurity standard; and
• Cybersecurity and the future of health care.

All 1105 Government Information Group events in this series are free of charge.

Duration: 1 hour
