HITRUST, a consortium of stakeholders cooperating to better protect protected health data, has initiated a latest cybersecurity program for small physician practices.
Called CyberAid, the package involves a Trend Micro endpoint security software covering Windows, Trend Micro cloud-hybrid network security application, and Mac OSX operating networks for mobile devices utilizing Android and IOS, installation help, monitoring services and quick recovery support after a tragedy. HITRUST is looking for extra services from other security vendors.
The Children’s Health, a huge pediatric delivery network serving North Texas, is deploying CyberAid in eighty practices ranging from 2 to 15 physicians, with completion hoped in almost 3 months of time period.
“Our agency hosts private physician practices on our electronic medical record (EHR) system,” Pamela Arora, senior vice president and chief information officer at Children’s Health, claimed in a statement. “Motivating this latest cybersecurity program enables us to more completely protect our organization, these physician practices and their sufferers from risks associated with cyber threats.”
In the month of September, HITRUST hopes to expand physician practice access to the program across the nation, as well as hospitals, delivery systems and health insurers.
Charges of CyberAid will range from $25 to $60 each user per year.
