The HITRUST risk-based, two-year certified status, initially awarded to the organization in September of 2022, confirmed Chapters Health’s hospice platforms met key regulations and industry-defined requirements and appropriately manage risk. The achievement elevated Chapters Health into exclusive group of organizations worldwide that have earned this certification. By including federal and state regulations, standards and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST Assurance Program helps organizations address security and data protections challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.
“The HITRUST Assurance Program is rigorous and reliable because of the comprehensiveness of control requirements, depth of review, and consistency of oversight” said Bimal Sheth, executive vice president, standards development & assurance operations, HITRUST. “HITRUST Risk-based, 2-year (r2) Certification demonstrates Chapters Health System is taking the most proactive approach to cybersecurity, data protection, and risk management.”
“HITRUST awarding the certification to Chapters Health for another year is the result of the collaboration and hard work from many teams in this organization,” said Mike Parkin, director, IT security CISO, Chapters Health System. “It validates the efforts put in to manage risks, improve security posture and meet requirements within the CareCentrium Environment residing at the Flexential datacenter in Tampa.”
