HITRUST makes updates to Common Security Framework
FRISCO, TX – The Health Information Trust Alliance has updated the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) to reflect new regulations and user experiences.
The 2010 version of the CSF reflects updated requirements and references to the HITECH Act interim final rule, the addition of certification control requirements, and improved tools and templates to apply the CSF to an organization or system, as well as other enhancements based on industry feedback, said officials.
The HITRUST Common Security Framework Assurance Program provides healthcare organizations and their business associates with a common approach to managing security assessments. The program leverages the HITRUST CSF, a comprehensive security framework that incorporates the existing security requirements of healthcare organizations, including federal, state, third party (e.g., PCI and COBIT) and other government agencies (e.g., NIST, FTC and CMS).

Military joint EHR office rapped for bad planning
WASHINGTON – The Government Accountability Office criticized the group directing the project to tie together the electronic health record systems operated by the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments in a recent report.
GAO said the VA-DOD Interagency Program Office (IPO) needed to improve its planning and scheduling – and specifically its ability to create a master plan for the project – if the project is to succeed.
GAO also pointed out several project management basics that the program office needed to work on, including creating an integrated schedule of projects and conducting performance assessments to measure progress of those projects.
