FairWarning Competitive Replacements Grow as Emerging Threats to Patient Data Require Advanced Technologies

CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FairWarning, the global leader in Patient Privacy Intelligence solutions announced today their continued growth of market share through replacement of competitive commercial products as well as "homegrown" solutions.

Through September of 2017, FairWarning® has replaced commercially competitive products in more than 42 healthcare systems representing 275 hospitals and over 490,000 employees. The replacement of homegrown solutions is not included in these counts. FairWarning® began tracking replacements as it noticed a trend among new customers, who were inquiring for more advanced and agile technologies for data protection in the face of evolving threats to patient data. Reported shortfalls include:

    --  Ability to scale and retain audit data for the time-period mandated by
        regulation while maintaining highest service and performance levels
    --  Broad clinical application support coverage resulting in order to meet
        HIPAA requirements and safeguard applications
    --  Best-of-class uptime and availability
    --  Data integrity monitoring and self healing systems resulting in
        consistent reports and investigation results
    --  Commitment to best-of-class information security including achievement
        of SOC 2 Type 2
    --  Well-documented change control procedures including coordination with
        EHR and clinical application vendor through FairWarning Ready in order
        to minimize customer impact during application upgrades.

FairWarning's 5(th) generation product, Patient Privacy Intelligence (PPI), provides customers with the largest scale, predictability, performance, and data integrity available in the marketplace. This has been possible through massive service-level investments. FairWarning® continues to launch next generation services like Dynamic Identity Intelligence, which currently assists 80 care providers with monitoring non-employee users, affiliate clinics, and physicians. FairWarning® also recently introduced Intelligent Filtering, which reduces false positives in healthcare investigations, allowing customers to save their most precious resource: time.

"We expect continued growth of replacement business as-a-result of the reliability and comprehensiveness of FairWarning Patient Privacy Intelligence," said Kurt Long, founder and CEO of FairWarning®. "Criminal threats to patient data continue to advance and organizations require advanced technologies and unwavering support."

Additionally, FairWarning Ready Online Training Launches September 19(th) in response to customer demand for virtual education and training opportunities. The program was created to help increase knowledge in the Patient Privacy Intelligence platform and to help drive a culture of privacy and compliance through their organization. There are over 400 successful FairWarning® Ready Certified Professionals and that number will continue to grow.
