Episode 54: Strong authentication for health information networks

HealtheLink is a health information exchange in western N.Y. that wanted to help health care providers give patients better care. Instead of having to carry around multiple medical records from different doctors the exchange enables providers to look up records from different provider via a secure network. But securing this network is a difficult task. Gina Jordan, contributing editor at Regarding ID, spoke with Dan Porreca, executive director at HealtheLink, about the network's choice of Anakam for strong authentication. She also spoke with Dr. William Braithwaite, chief medical officer at Anakam, to find out how the system works.
