Health Information Security and Privacy ToolkitWest Virginia has been involved in a federal initiative to encourage participation in electronic health exchange by providing information about privacy and security to health care providers.
The Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration Provider Education Toolkit, provides educational resources for health care providers interested in understanding electronic health information exchange and security and privacy best practices.
The Web-based tool, found at www.Secure4Health.org offers physician to physician advice, resource links, and answers to frequently asked questions from national health care subject-matter experts. Health care providers can also earn free continuing medical education credits while learning more about electronic health information exchange, electronic health record systems, and related privacy and security benefits and challenges.
The Provider Education Toolkit is the result of the work completed by the Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration, a multi-year project launched in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
