Emergis Inc. to Discuss Regionalization: Opportunity for Healthcare to invest in Information Security at the 2008 Government and Health Technologies Conference and Expo.

March 25, 2008- Toronto, Canada - Yogen Appalraju, Vice President, Security Services, Emergis Inc., a TELUS Company will be delivering an insightful presentation on Regionalization: Opportunity for Healthcare to invest in Information Security at the 2008 Government and Health Technologies Conference and Expo. Now in its fifth year, this must-attend event will be hosted at the Design Exchange on April 15 -16, 2008 in Toronto, Ontario.

The business of Healthcare is transitioning from providing isolated pockets of services based on individual hospitals to a regional model of providing healthcare services that are linked within a larger region. These services require interconnecting information and systems between hospitals, clinics, labs, physicians and the patient. During this track, you will hear how Healthcare providers can take advantage of the synergies generated through regionalization to build a sustainable information security program.

Some of the challenges that will be discussed will include specific examples where this transformation is taking place in the Healthcare industry. Some of these challenges include issues of network security, access control, and security concerns in the deployment of complex Electronic Patient Record and Patient Imaging Systems. The issues to be solved in a regional model not only involve technology deployments, but also the need to integrate people and processes.

Telus Security Solutions has built an information security program and framework that is customized to the Healthcare Industry. Yogen will outline the security program and framework, discuss the process to sustain this framework in your organization, and will also explore some of the pre-requisites that need to take place before this transformation can take place.
