33 Why Security & Privacy Risk Analysis? Required for Meaningful Use Primary tenet for HIPAA (1996) and HITECH (2009) Used to determine which safeguards and technologies will best protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of e-phi- Electronic Protected Health Information Risk analysis is the first step in an organization s Security Rule compliance efforts 33

34 Why Security & Privacy Risk Analysis? Because patients trust you with their health information Your Organization, NOT your EHR vendor, is responsible for taking the steps necessary to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of health information in your EHR and comply with HIPAA Rules and CMS Meaningful Use requirements 34

35 Specifics for Meaningful Use Provider/Hospital is responsible for obtaining a compliant risk analysis for each reporting period Results of the Risk Analysis must be kept as part of the Meaningful Use Attestation Provider/Hospital is responsible for any identified deficiencies, inventory, as well as ongoing mitigation Have to address your findings (risks) with proper documentation 35

36 Risk Assessment 1 Review Existing Security of PHI 5 Monitor Results Mitigate Security Risks Security Risk Analysis Process Identify Threats and Vulnerabilities Assess Risks for Likelihood and Impact
