I applaud the government's work to develop hard guidelines for software and system vendors. As they take the time to review and implement these practices, we will strive to move to a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) compliant only systems model to further protect our own clients.

The more companies demand security standards, the stronger security will be for the entire healthcare industry.
