Removing Barriers To HIT Transformation
In healthcare, many entities other than the patient finance or reimburse the cost of health services. In most cases, healthcare payers refer to insurance carriers, other third-party payers, or health plan sponsors such as employers or unions. Although their main jobs are as financial intermediaries, they still must adhere to all the compliance requirements of other healthcare organizations, including safeguarding PHI. And they must deal with massive volumes of information, including sensitive financial information.
Patient privacy issues (including concerns about data breaches) will continue to be top-of-mind for payers, especially with ongoing data breaches in the news. Providers and payers both will need to step up data security to avoid the type of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations that can negatively impact an organization.
