DOTmed: What should organizations consider for the future?

Gallagher: Organizations should be aware of the HITECH provisions that have introduced new statutory requirements on covered entities and business associates and also made compliance enforcement changes. HIMSS hopes that the OCR will make information available soon, such as guidance and reference information, to assist organizations with understanding the changes and to help with compliance. Meantime, organizations can use the Economic Stimulus Resource Page on the HIMSS website. (http://www.himss.org/EconomicStimulus/)
