Group Tackles Security Best Practices


July 7, 2008

The Health Information Trust Alliance, an industry consortium, expects in January 2009 to introduce its Common Security Framework for Electronic Health Information.

Participants in the group, formed in December 2007, are working to develop a set of tools, including a best-practices security implementation manual, a standards and regulations cross-reference matrix, and a readiness assessment toolkit.

Charter members of the alliance, called HITRUST, were CVS Caremark, Cisco Systems Inc., Highmark Inc., Hospital Corp. of America, Humana Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Philips Healthcare and Pitney Bowes. More information is available at hitrustalliance.org.
