Everyone with a medical record somewhere can understand the importance of having their identity correctly tied to their medical records -- it is vital in regards to quality of care and privacy, said Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance. Now, increasing regulatory requirements are forcing healthcare providers to look at new approaches to patient identification and authentication. This webinar will address the changing landscape of healthcare identity management, the challenges within, and results already achieved.

Presenters are: Lawrence Carbonaro, director of purchasing and patient retention, The Memorial Hospital, North Conway, New Hampshire; Paul Contino, vice president of information technology, Mount Sinai Medical Center; Richard Marks, co-founder and president, Patient Command Inc.; and Randy Vanderhoof, executive director, Smart Card Alliance.

It is always our goal to bring our clients and readers the most timely topics in healthcare. With the Obama administration\'s effort to more strongly enforce HIPAA* and move U.S. healthcare into a more modern and efficient information era, this is a good time to have these experts in healthcare address the issue of identity management, said Carl Mercurio, president, CRG.

Webinar sponsors are Gemalto, Infineon Technologies, LifeMed, Inc., and the Smart Card Alliance.
