Parkland maintains HITRUST certification

Posted: 9/28/2020

News and Updates

Recognizes best practices in health information security standards


Parkland Health & Hospital System announced it has passed the interim one year Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) assessment required to maintain HITRUST certification. Parkland is required to recertify every two years. The interim assessment is conducted by a third party assessor to ensure Parkland is meeting the criteria required for HITRUST certification.

HITRUST was founded in 2007 and uses the “HITRUST approach” to help organizations from all sectors, especially healthcare, effectively manage data, information risk and compliance. To become certified, an organization must meet certain security standards within the 19 Common Security Framework (CSF) domains and 135 specific controls. The certification helps organizations that handle Protected Health Information (PHI) manage cybersecurity risks and improve their security posture.

“Pursuing HITRUST certification demonstrates that we go the extra mile to keep our patients’ sensitive health information safe,” said Joe Longo, MBA, CHCIO, Parkland’s Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer. “Parkland is dedicated to maintaining the security and confidentiality of the health information of individuals and communities we serve.”

With the healthcare industry relying on technology more than ever, health information is available to patients, their families and health professionals via the click of a button.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has also increased the use of telehealth services, potentially increasing cybersecurity risk. HITRUST certification provides an extra level of protection, giving peace of mind to all,” Longo said
