Stay Informed of MEDITECH's Security Best Practices

April 16, 2024 - Information security and breaches are increasingly making headlines in the news. While healthcare is a target, MEDITECH continues to make security, privacy, and patient safety top priorities. To facilitate better communication on privacy and security concerns, we are asking that each organization provide a Privacy and Information Security Contact.

Privacy and Information Security Contacts will receive timely information about security updates. Also, in the event there is a privacy incident or vulnerability, having a Security-Info Security Contact defined will ensure engagement with the right people at your organization. 

• It will not be the only way MEDITECH communicates updates, of course, but it will provide us a direct line to your Privacy and Information Security staff.
• Additionally, contacts will receive occasional newsletters discussing recent trends and threats, and recommendations for dealing with these threats. For example, MEDITECH provided this advisory in response to a CISA directive alert on Ivanti product vulnerability. 

To ensure you have a contact defined, select the appropriate staff member and set their MEDITECH Circle Contact Type to Security-Info Security Contact. 

By working with you to designate Privacy and Information Security Contacts at your facility, we can expedite the communications and MEDITECH Circle case management related to privacy and security concerns, and help keep your data safe.

Please contact Manager of Information Security Tom Moriarty, CISSP with any questions.
