HIMSS Media and the leading information source for healthcare information technology, Healthcare IT News, join forces again to bring you The Privacy & Security Forum in San Diego. This forum will deliver what CIOs, CISOs and other healthcare IT leaders told us they want from an industry conference: peer-to-peer learning, case studies and forums where they can brainstorm and share ideas. Attendees to this conference will learn how their peers have successfully addressed security and privacy challenges. The information provided will be practical and solutions-based. Attendees will be able to take this information home and act on it. To meet the needs of our high-level audience, the information provided will help with planning, coordination and oversight. Attendees will leave our conference feeling more confident that they can manage and address their organizations’ privacy and security challenges and initiatives.
