Instructor: Jim Sheldon-Dean

Why Should You Attend:

The miniaturization of electronics and communications has revolutionized the way people communicate and the information they carry around with them every day. With these new technologies come new risks for privacy, security, and compliance, and if the risks haven't been properly considered, you may be left open to audits and fines for non-compliance.

In order to integrate the use of mobile technology into patient communications, it is essential to perform the proper steps in an information security compliance process to evaluate and address the risks of using the technology. This session will:

• Describe the information security compliance process
• How it works
• How can it help you decide how to integrate mobile technology into your organization in a compliant manner

The process, including the use of information security risk analysis, will be explained, and the policies needed to support the process will be described.
