1 Joanne White, CIO & HIPAA Privacy and Security Officer Client Profile Wood County Hospital is a 196-bed, licensed community hospital located in Bowling Green, Ohio. The hospital offers a comprehensive suite of inpatient and outpatient services, and is an accredited Center of Excellence for bariatric surgery. The hospital has also forged a close partnership with Bowling Green State University, and in 2013 opened a $5 million, 23,000-square-foot health center near campus. Challenge The hospital s IT staff, just 16 people, is understaffed and overworked a scenario shared by a great many healthcare organizations. But Wood County s CIO is also tasked with overseeing the organization s HIPAA Privacy and Compliance efforts. Help was needed both with managing HIPAArelated workloads, and with maintaining the constant vigilance necessary in protecting patient data. Solution Patient Privacy Intelligence and Managed Privacy Services FairWarning Lightens Burdens, Increases Efficiency of Hospital CIO / Security Officer Harried hospital executive finds some relief with FairWarning s Managed Privacy Services Results An organization-wide culture change Increased employee acceptance of the importance of guarding patient data Occurrences of privacy breaches have been substantially reduced
2 2 Overview: Healthcare Security Officers Face Daunting Challenges Healthcare organizations are now targeted for data theft more than any other industry. According to the Ponemon Institute s Sixth Annual Benchmark Study on Privacy and Security of Healthcare Data, nearly 90% of healthcare organizations have suffered data breaches in the past two years, at a cost of more than $6 billion industry wide. 1 Healthcare executives charged with protecting patients data and assuring HIPAA compliance have quite the challenge on their hands. They are very important people. And very busy people. Joanne White is a very busy woman. As the CIO and HIPAA Privacy and Security Officer of Wood County Hospital, she has many responsibilities to juggle. Her job will never be easy. But it will also never again be quite as hectic as it once was. You can set up different sorts of alerts. What I started with was Neighbor Snooping, VIP Snooping, Employee and Manager Snooping, and Family Snooping. Joanne White, CIO & HIPAA Privacy and Security Officer
3 3 The Challenge: Operational Overload How much stress and non-stop effort can be packed into one workday? Joanne White likely felt that she was testing that limit every single day. She manages an IT staff of just 16 people, and has the responsibility of supporting the hospital, all the clinics, and the Falcon Health Center serving 25,000 students. We run really lean, Joanne explained. Joanne also bears the full responsibility of overseeing the organization s HIPAA Privacy and Compliance efforts. Her plate was quite full. But in recent years, security and compliance efforts grew disproportionally demanding. Joanne found that more and more of her time was devoted to protecting patient data, and investigating occurrences or claims of data breaches. Two recent developments, in particular, impacted Joanna s job. The first was the opening of a student health center, which would give 25,000 students access to hospital systems via a wireless network. Joanne had worked at a college in the past, and knew that students could sometimes be a bit disruptive ( hacking was one of their favorite things. ) The second development was tied to the glut of recent news reports about HIPAA breaches and resulting cash settlements. Each time a news story about a massive HIPAA settlement would appear in print or on TV, FairWarning has given me a lot of time back. the phone calls would inevitably begin: I think someone has looked at my health record. How do I go about putting in a claim to collect money? And though most claims were bogus, Joanne had no choice but to run audit logs against each claimed incident to verify and confirm that no breach occurred. And Joanne wasn t getting much help from the tools she was using. One tool, for example, captured data for forensic investigations by recording every single key stroke from every device in the organization. This data was saved to a massive SQL database that, in three years, grew to 14 terabytes. So much data was stored that in-house storage capacity was exceeded, requiring moving the data to cloud-based storage. But the tool offered no automation. No canned reports. Conducting investigations and teasing useful insights out of the stored data was tedious and massively time consuming. I spent most of my evenings working on HIPAA because I didn t have time during the day. It was an unsustainable situation, and Joanne knew she needed help.
4 4 Solution: Other hospitals gave FairWarning very high marks. Joanne considered several vendors in seeking a solution to her HIPAA-related problems. As it happened, she met regularly with a group of representatives from 12 local hospitals. Several of those hospitals were already using FairWarning, and were pleased with the results. They all gave FairWarning very high marks. Joanne evaluated the FairWarning demo, and decided to go with FairWarning s Patient Privacy Monitoring platform (currently monitoring over 250 billion rows of data across more than 7,000 healthcare facilities). But she had another decision to make. FairWarning also offers a Managed Privacy Services (MPS) solution, which serves as a de-facto staff extension for overworked and under-manned compliance and security staff officers. MPS helps healthcare organizations: Minimize overall risk profiles Improve compliance postures Simplify OCR audit preparations Resolve staffing and resource issues Perform and document investigations Identify internal threats MPS was exactly what Joanne needed, but she was hesitant. I wasn t sure if I wanted to let go of all the responsibility. However, 75% of all FairWarning onboarding customers elect to utilize MPS. Therefore, Joanne also decided to give MPS a try.
5 The Results: Less Stress, More Control 5 Thanks to FairWarning MPS, Joanna s team has been relieved of the responsibility of monitoring all of those terabytes of data. FairWarning looks at the data first, Joanne explained. They do it in a very timely manner. They do it all day long. I just log on to FairWarning once each week to review my audit alerts. The implementation was easy: One of the easiest implementations I ve ever done, Joanne recalled. Importantly, FairWarning seamlessly integrated with the already-in-place tools that Joanne relies upon, such as Cerner HealthIntent, OB TraceVue, Spacelabs, and others. FairWarning has even helped the team to boost the effectiveness of these tools that feed into FairWarning spotlighting a modification to the Cerner patient list to eliminate false positive alerts, for example. FairWarning has even catalyzed a culture shift throughout the entire Wood County organization. Like most any other healthcare organization, Wood County worked to foster an awareness among employees about the importance of patient-data security: mandatory HIPAA training; constant discussions with users; etc. But the preaching often fell upon deaf ears. But FairWarning enables complete and comprehensive transparency in monitoring user actions. Joanne and her team knows exactly who accessed what record, and when. And now, users know that Joanna s team knows. I have written-up people for accessing charts they weren t supposed to, Joanne said. This new software has brought awareness to the forefront. It s caused people to take pause before looking at a chart that they don t have permission to access. And that applies to doctors, same as everyone else. Joanne recalled that before FairWarning, doctors often would think that HIPAA didn t necessarily apply to them. They have learned otherwise. Joanne is still a very busy person. But thanks to FairWarning, at least one aspect of her job, managing HIPAA Privacy and Compliance, is easier. We put in really long days here and have no life, Joanne said (somewhat jokingly). But this software has made that part of my job a lot easier. Key benefits that FairWarning s Managed Privacy Services provides to the Wood County team includes: Easy, Customizable Reporting FairWarning s ability to present data visualizations in customizable chart formats assure that data is presented in ways most effective for each user. For Joanne, that capability has been particularly helpful in fulfilling the needs of many users and departments throughout the organization. I can very easily run a report by patient name, pin number, medical record number whatever s needed. I can put a date range in. I can be very broad or very specific. When I run a report at someone s request, I can easily provide exactly what they need.
6 6 5 Customized Education and Communication Plan FairWarning s MPS team works directly with end users, training them to use the product. Users are taught to navigate the product, produce their own reports, review investigations, identify and examine trends, and much more. Proactive Alerting Before FairWarning, Joanna s team was decidedly reactive, seemingly always a bit (or a lot) behind in conducting investigations. But that s no longer the case. FairWarning s MPS team quickly alerts Joanna s team to any event that may warrant investigation.! Is Your EHR Vendor FairWarning Certified? The FairWarning Ready program certifies that participating healthcare vendors conform to uniform standards pertaining to the sharing of data. It makes life simpler for everyone involved. Is your EHR vendor already FairWarning Ready certified? With hundreds of vendors participating in the FairWarning Ready program, odds are good that they are or soon will be. Joanne offered a recent example: Just this week, one of our VPs was looking at their child s record. FairWarning saw that, and alerted me right away. Those are the types of proactive alerts I get from FairWarning that keep me on track with my auditing. Dedicated FairWarning Reps Each MPS client is assigned a dedicated analyst. It s a service that Joanne has found invaluable. If I want a report or have a question, I just phone or my assigned rep, and he s always available. He s knowledgeable, and if he doesn t know something, he ll find the right person. And I always get an immediate response. 1. Ponemon Institute.
