The Trusted Network Accreditation Program (TNAP) collaborative, developed to promote interoperability by assuring the security and privacy of trusted networks, today announced the results of a healthcare industry stakeholder survey.The feedback generated from the survey will help guide the development of a transparent, inclusive and open process as the collaborative continues to develop a program that aligns with TEFCA draft provisions recently released by the federal government.
"Overwhelmingly, survey respondents indicated that improving the electronic movement of health information will improve patient care," stated Lee Barrett, Executive Director and CEO of EHNAC, one of the organizations that leads the initiative. "However, the vast majority of potential network participants signaled that if privacy and security concerns are not addressed, interoperability may not be achieved." Significant findings from the survey include:
"It is vital that key healthcare industry stakeholders collaborate and place a dedicated focus on improving the current state of interoperability," added Barrett. "The findings of this survey indicate that the healthcare industry sees tremendous value in privacy and security accreditation, as well as the necessity to improve the exchange of secure electronic information to facilitate improved patient care."
