FARMINGTON, Conn., June 09, 2017 -- The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), a non-profit standards development organization and accrediting body for organizations that electronically exchange healthcare data, today announced that it has been awarded the Best Overall Cybersecurity Company from MedTech Breakthrough, an independent organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global health and medical technology market today.
“The incidence of cyberattacks across healthcare have more than doubled in the last five years, and it’s estimated that data breaches cost the healthcare industry $6.2B annually,” said Lee Barrett, executive director, EHNAC. “In this turbulent healthcare data security environment, it’s an honor for EHNAC to be named Best Overall Cybersecurity Company by the MedTech Breakthrough awards. We believe in the critical importance of this role – helping organizations enhance stakeholder trust, provide risk management, prepare planning assessments, and secure their protected health information.”
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of health and medical technology categories, including Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records, mHealth, Medical Devices, Medical Data and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 2,000 nominations from over 10 different countries throughout the world. All nominations were evaluated by an independent panel of experts within the medical and health industry.
“EHNAC has made cybersecurity a significant core of its accreditation models in recent years to help organizations better protect themselves in areas of security and privacy liability, privacy regulatory defense, privacy breaches, network asset protection, cyber extortion and cyber terrorism,” stated James Johnson, managing director at MedTech Breakthrough. “It was a competitive field for the Best Overall Cybersecurity Company, and MedTech congratulates EHNAC’s efforts in the achievement of this recognition.”
Since its inception in 1993, EHNAC has remained on the forefront of the crucial issues that affect the exchange and security of healthcare data, and its emphasis on cybersecurity has been no different. The Commission has focused extensive resources and time to align its programs and criteria with the industry’s most current cybersecurity regulations and best practices.
