MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, Md., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on Phoenix Health Systems' most recent Healthcare Industry HIPAA Survey, only 5% of healthcare providers have implemented security changes required by the Federal HIPAA Security Rule. This, in a time when destructive Internet viruses and computer hacking incidents are at an all time high. In response, Phoenix announced today that it has developed a comprehensive healthcare-specific set of "near-camera-ready" security policies to help hospitals and other providers implement required enterprise-wide security programs. The Policies Suite consists of 54 detailed, customizable security policies mapped to all major components of the HIPAA Rule, based on security industry best practices and standards, and fine-tuned to the realities of healthcare provider environments.

HIPAA legislation requires healthcare organizations to implement a complete security program to protect electronic health information. An important component is developing the organization's security policies -- a major, time-consuming task that takes strong security expertise and attention to detail. Policy language must reflect the Security Rule's complex requirements, yet be simple enough to be understood and applied by the entire organization's workforce.

The HIPAA Security Policies Templates Suite is unique -- the only comprehensive set of security policies designed specifically to meet the needs of healthcare provider organizations. Developed by certified security specialists with strong healthcare experience, the series may be purchased as a set, or policies may be bought individually via a perpetual license for indefinite use and customization, at a reasonable price.
