EpicTide and Forward Advantage Sign Partnership to Deliver Enterprise Privacy Auditing Solution to MEDITECH Users

(Feb 27, 2007) -- EpicTide, provider of privacy auditing solutions and Forward Advantage, provider of identity and access management solutions for hospitals using MEDITECH, announced a strategic partnership. Under terms of the agreement, Forward Advantage will resell EpicTide's FairWarning privacy auditing solution through its im-one initiative to more than 2,000 MEDITECH customers worldwide.

Forward Advantage's im-one initiative brings together leading identity management technologies with professional services, offering the MEDITECH user community improved information security while increasing convenience for their clinicians to access their information systems. As regulatory forces such as HIPAA increase the requirements for greater information security and reporting, healthcare organizations face a daunting task of selecting and implementing technologies that provide the appropriate level of security without impeding the workflow in a clinical environment.

EpicTide FairWarning provides best-of-class patient privacy auditing and healthcare incident detection, both of which are essential to ensuring patient safety in the electronic healthcare environment. EpicTide's appliance-based privacy auditing solution, FairWarning enables hospitals to streamline enterprise privacy auditing, conduct incident investigations and proactively detect security incidents. FairWarning provides an all-inclusive out-of-the-box solution for detecting the most common healthcare privacy and security violations.
