Overcoming The Challenges Of Patient Privacy With A Multi-Pronged Approach

The American Health Information Management Association’s (AHIMA) 86th Convention and Exhibit was held September 27 – October 3 in the San Diego Convention Center, and Health IT Outcomes editor John Oncea had the opportunity to speak with a wide range of attendees.

Oncea was able to speak with AHIMA members and presenters about everything from the effective management of health data, to the need for medical records to deliver quality healthcare to the public, to electronic documentation and health record management. In addition, several of healthcare’s leading vendors shared how technology is enabling HIM professionals better manage the ICD-10 transition, save health systems millions of dollars, achieve HIMSS Level 7, and achieve favorable electronic health record (EHR) implementations.

In this video, Rob Rhodes, senior director, patient privacy solutions at Iatric Systems, looks at the current challenges healthcare organizations are facing with patient privacy, what Iatric Systems is doing to help solve these problems, and what can be done to reduce privacy breaches and increase productivity. Rhodes also looks at what he sees happening in this segment over the next year.
