EMR(Electronic Medical Record)/EHR(Electronic Health Record) is the area I paid close attention to for the past years. Government always takes that as a high priority and companies are working at their hardest to tackle the problem. There are a lot of security related issues (such as this one) and certainly keep learning from the industry best practice will help me better understand and work in this field.

Over the past three years, 36% of respondents to an Enterprise Strategy Group survey say that their organization has failed a HIPAA audit “one time” or “multiple times.”
Electronic Health Records are perhaps the most sensitive information records stored in databases today.
With initiatives like the HITECH Act that provide incentives for providers to digitize records, and with the increasing stringency of HIPAA, organizations are required to comply with a certain level of security to ensure compliant databases.
Our special roundtable discussion with KPMG, Humana and CaseNet will address five 'burning issues' around securing health information, and compliance in the database.
To address the compliance landscape, organizations must constantly monitor their data, perform regular assessments, provide audit trails of data access, and conduct comprehensive analyses of user and data access - - hear what industry leaders are doing to address these issues and more!
