Patient Portals: Connecting Communities of Care

Connecting patient health data across the care continuum is essential to achieve
improved care, increased access to personal health records and lowered costs. A
successful approach rests in having the hospital serve as the connectivity hub
for bringing patients, care givers and healthcare professionals together in a
secure, online environment.

How to protect yourself against privileged user abuse

The typical organization loses 5% of its revenues to fraud by its own employees
each year, with most thefts committed by trusted employees in executive
management, operations, accounting, sales, customer service or purchasing,
according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). This type of
malicious behavior by "privileged users" who have been given broad access to the
company's computer assets has captured the attention of CIOs across the country.
