Healthcare information privacy and security firm HIPAAT is unveiling a consent aggregation toolkit with new application interface (API) functionality at next week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in New Orleans.
The toolkit simplifies consent management, functioning across disparate applications to enable: a care delivery organization's health networks to control organizational privacy policies; patients to block access to some or all of their electronic patient health information (PHI) on a case-by-case basis; caregivers to have override "break the glass" access to PHI; a secure, centralized audit trail; and automatic and immediate breach reporting to the privacy officer through e-mail alerts, according to the Mississauga, Ontario-based firm.
Components of the solution include Privacy eSuite, a server where consent directives are defined and automated; Universal Audit Repository, a standalone repository of PHI access events and source of privacy breach alerts; and Privacy Manager, client software that controls user access to PHI on the basis of patient and system directives, HIPAAT said.
