Riverside has been recognized for dedication to patient privacy by FairWarning, a data-security expert serving 7,500 health care facilities around the world.
The health system's award - the Professional Achievement Level Ready Shield - celebrates proactive privacy monitoring and a commitment to best practices.
Riverside recognizes patient privacy as a key to building trust within the communities we serve.? We teamed up with FairWarning in 2014 to improve our practices, with the goal of becoming a privacy leader within health care. We receive alerts when suspicious activity is detected. That lets us respond quickly to investigate and resolve issues.
"Our core beliefs include a duty to protect patients' information," said Lisa Salsberry, Riverside's privacy officer. "We want patients to feel comfortable sharing sensitive information. Respecting privacy is part of the Riverside Care Difference."
