The Role of Security in Clinical Informatics

Interhack founder Matt Curtin will present at the annual conference of the Central and Southern Ohio Chapter of HIMSS with a discussion of the role of information security in clinical informatics.

Abstract

When thinking of security, many people think immediately of technologies like firewalls and cryptography. In fact, security is a property ascribed to information when it is well-managed. We will discuss the fundamental principles of information security and show how these support the objectives of clinical informatics. Going a step further, we will demonstrate how the goals of clinical informatics cannot be met without security.
