About The Client

Department of Health has both HIPAA-covered and non-HIPAA-covered applications, databases, and data files in our environment. It is often necessary for HIPAA-covered and non-HIPAA-covered information to integrate or "connect" for required reporting, analysis, and continuity of care. Additionally, many of the applications and databases are legacy systems designed and implemented before the current security protocols and best practices became the OIT standard. As a result, our efforts will go toward improving security compliance and monitoring across the entire DPH network.
