AHIMA22 Impact Area: Privacy and Security

By Robyn Stambaugh, MS, RHIA

Practice Director, Privacy and Security/Health Law and Compliance at AHIMA

AHIMA22 Global Conference has top experts on information blocking, electronic health record vendor efforts to protect privacy and achieve interoperability, cyberthreats, and risks associated with the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). I’m looking forward to the panel discussions, and personally want to have a better understanding about the risks associated with the IoMT.

Why is this topic important to the future of the industry?

• Ongoing responsibility to understand and comply with laws that govern the privacy and security of health information.
• Learning unique security gaps as healthcare increases its use of devices that interact directly with patients, and ways to mitigate the IoMT risk.
• Understanding the current drive to achieve an interoperable landscape requires heightened privacy and security.

Why is it important RIGHT NOW?

Unrelenting cyberattacks on healthcare’s day-to-day operations are happening across the globe.

Any tips for people looking to learn more on this topic at the conference?

Come prepared to take notes-these experts are going to drop one insight after another that you won’t want to forget!
