10 Security Risk Mitigation Strategies Every Healthcare Executive Should Know

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. Articles have started to shine a light on the realities of security risk in our healthcare IT environments. This is no longer a HIPAA compliance project where we check a few boxes, update a policy book, do some DVD based training, and expect that we have covered ourselves for the next audit. These risks are real and they can be extremely damaging to an organization if not kept in check.
