Privacy Management

 

With the rapid emergence of a social networking and computer literate society, the NHS challenge of demonstrating sound privacy management practices for patient sensitive information is set to increase dramatically, are you prepared for this? 

Responding to subject access requests and requirements for forensic audits reliably and cost effectively is a major challenge for staff that presently have to resolve the manual complexity of accessing, sorting, assimilating and reporting on audit data from the multitude of operational systems employed across trusts.

Imprivata PrivacyAlert! from Transforming Healthcare radically reduces the cost of information governance forensic auditing, whilst at the same time dramatically increases the organisations ability to respond to patient enquiries, the benefits of the solution however extend well beyond IG audit.

Imprivata PrivacyAlert quickly detects snooping, identity theft and general inappropriate access of medical records through its automated pattern recognition, which delivers alerts on more than 100 patient privacy scenarios. Key capabilities include:

  • Level 3 attainment of IG toolkit requirement 8-206.
  • An organisations ability to demonstrate a robust management approach on confidentiality and privacy.
  • Pro-active warning on information governance risk issues.
  • Cost effective and confident responses to Data Protection Act - Subject Access Requests.
  • Provision of supporting business intelligence and information assisting with assessment of a wide range of other IG toolkit requirements.
  • Pro-actively Identify staff identity and access rights management issues.

Users can deploy automated and scalable privacy monitoring policies that assist in investigating and reporting on patient data privacy breaches. With Imprivata PrivacyAlert, Senior Information Risk owner’s and Information Asset Owner’s can also manage all the increasing regulatory mandated functions and perform required audits in a timely, reliable and scalable manner.

  • Cost effective information asset audit and forensic examination for Information Asset Owners (IAO’s) and Senior Information Risk Owners (SIRO’s),
  • Reduction in information governance issues and subsequent consequential costs,
  • Significant reduction in risk management resource effort.
  • Identification of underutilised or poorly supported information assets.
  • The development of staff information governance culture can also be facilitated by the development of user confidence, with mistakes or inappropriate business practices being detected and corrected before becoming an issue for the user, the organisation and most importantly the patient(s) concerned.

With a thorough understanding of the use of information assets organisations can quickly address information governance risk issues, and requirements to facilitate better use of systems supporting the development of information assets, identifying possible future cost savings and efficiency gains as well as provide a baseline from which individual objectives of the Information Revolution strategy can be qualified.
