10 Security Risk Mitigation Strategies Every Healthcare Executive Should Know12/12/2014
For the last four to five years, we have been blogging about the importance and details of proper security in your healthcare IT environment. We have been “preaching” the message of diligence and attention to detail as it relates to HIPAA and HITECH.

The healthcare industry has reached epidemic levels of disengagement, resulting in organizations struggling with issues such as absenteeism, poor attrition rates, loss of productivity, and business disruption. Unless the situation improves, the negative side effects of disengagement could have far more serious consequences for the healthcare industry, given that successful patient care outcomes are dependent on the engagement level of employees.
