Healthcare Data

Who Owns It? Is It All Confidential?

Understanding our information assets and classifying them into risk-based "buckets" is something we all know we should do, but rarely get around to doing due to the perceived complexity of the task. Government regulations such as HIPAA and GLB require that companies implement measures to protect the privacy of individual health and financial information. The legislation requires a risk-based approach which implies (or directly states) that the organization must classify its information assets based on value and risk and then implement appropriate protection measures.

This presentation was prepared for the Georgia Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Fall Conference and presents an overview of Data Classification and a practical approach for accomplishing the task.
