iatricSystems has partnered with Renown Health to transform their patient privacy auditing with artificial intelligence and automation.
PONCE INLET, Fla., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iatricSystems, Inc (iatric.com), a healthcare technology company committed to helping healthcare organizations better protect patients, connect systems, and optimize EHR usage, has partnered with Renown Health (renown.org), a national healthcare leader based in northern Nevada, to transform their patient privacy auditing with artificial intelligence and automation.
Partnering with iatricSystems™, Renown Health implemented Haystack™ iS, a comprehensive patient privacy monitoring solution, to consolidate thousands of daily PHI accesses into an actionable event list and automate vast segments of their patient privacy auditing. "It used to take a lot of effort to audit patient access. There was no way we could look at the thousands of patient records accessed every day, not to mention the thousands of users," said Brian Colonna, Director of Compliance. "Haystack has helped us with proactive monitoring, but the feature that's reduced our workload the most has been AVA."
AVA is an Advanced Virtual Assistant and powerful patient privacy automation tool in Haystack iS. Renown Health was an early adopter of the new technology and has already found success with fully automating their self-access review. "Before we had AVA, we would need to connect with users manually for self-access. It was so time consuming to have to follow up with every individual, knowing that these aren't even real HIPAA violations," said Nicole Gaarenstroom, Compliance Coordinator for Renown Health. "AVA gathering that information instead has significantly reduced our workload, and lets our team focus on preventing what could be a true OCR breach."
With AI and automation bringing new efficiencies, Renown Health has now set their sights on a proactive education plan, using data to predict trends and tailor employee education. "Now we can start getting ahead of things," said Colonna, "If we see a spike in say family snooping around the holidays, we can schedule educational sessions 30 days or 90 days out to avoid that spike."
iatricSystems and Renown Health are taking education one step further, speaking at the 2024 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference on the importance of AI and automation in protecting patient data. "AI and automation have been buzzwords for some time," said Rob Rhodes, Executive Vice President of iatricSystems "but now we're witnessing the positive impact this technology is having with hospitals like Renown Health and are excited to share their success."
