I’m developing a detailed submission on the National Strategy for Secure Online Transactions and the fit between the OIX model and the needs of e-business and e-government. But can I please test one of my concerns in this forum?
Over the last few years, federal and state health IT policymakers have paid little attention to the problem of managing provider identities.
The exception is the National Provider Identifier (NPI), a unique 10-digit identification number the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began issuing to providers in 2006 to help manage transactions protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
What can IT professionals expect for regulatory compliance in 2010?
More regulations, risk management and returns on their investment in
time and technology. As we reported last year about the top regulatory compliance trends of 2009, increased federal regulation and enforcement, changes to state data protection laws and major cybersecurity
policy initiatives are on the way.
