New Hospital Customers Represent 103% Growth for FairWarning® in 2011

FairWarning, Inc., the inventor and world's leading supplier of cross-platform healthcare privacy auditing solutions for Electronic Health Records, announced important year-to-date milestones. FairWarning® now protects patient privacy in over 800 hospitals and 2,500 clinics across the UK, the United States, Canada and France, which represents 103% growth in hospital customers over the same time period in 2010.

In the UK, NHS Scotland selected FairWarning® for every board throughout Scotland as well as privacy protection for the country's Health Information Exchange and Emergency Care Summary. In addition, FairWarning® has just announced that HCA International, London's No. 1 private hospital group caring for around 300,000 patients per year, has selected FairWarning® Privacy Breach Detection to enhance their patients' privacy. FairWarning® also acquired its first privacy breach detection customer in France.

Of significance, FairWarning® conducted and introduced to the media four country-wide Patient Privacy Outcomes surveys in the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Canada.

Driven by these successes, FairWarning® is planning to hire 70 new team members through 2012.

"FairWarning®'s mission has always been to provide healthcare providers with a tried and true privacy breach detection and prevention solution that ensures the uninterrupted growth of electronic health records. Our continued success and growth is attributable to the growing number of healthcare providers who are committed to ensuring greater patient privacy protections, and effectiveness and efficiencies in patient care," said Kurt Long, CEO of FairWarning®.

"Care providers deploying the technology and business processes associated with FairWarning® privacy breach detection and prevention are leaders in privacy and leaders in patient care," concluded Long.

Key highlights

  • Over 55% of FairWarning® customers have won the healthcare industry's highest awards including those from Most Wired, Malcolm Baldrige and U.S. News Best Hospitals.
  • In November 2011, FairWarning® released several new corporate programmes, including its 2.9.5 product release, which leverages the FairWarning® Ready for Electronic Health Records initiative to streamline healthcare application privacy auditing through template driven point and click interfaces. 2.9.5 enables FairWarning® Certified Professionals to add audit sources rapidly and instantly enable reporting and breach detection analytics, representing an "orders of magnitude" advance in easing the deployment of privacy breach detection.
  • FairWarning® received KLAS Konfidence Checkmarks; 100% of respondents indicated they trust FairWarning® to keep its promises.
  • The FairWarning® Ready Certified Professional Training programme was also announced in November 2011, with first courses scheduled for February, May and October of 2012. This programme is designed to improve the effectiveness of FairWarning® deployments by providing best practices training.
  • Country-wide Surveys to Assess the Impact of Privacy Considerations on Patient Outcomes were conducted and introduced to the media through FairWarning® in the United States and the United Kingdom. Comparable surveys have also been completed by FairWarning® in France and Canada (just released on January 26). This thought-leading global initiative to elevate patient privacy as a priority is the largest of its kind and has demonstrated that privacy impacts when, from whom and where patients receive care.
  • Announcement of FairWarning® Ready for Electronic Health Record Vendors, an open copyright data definition guide for the consistent production of best-practice privacy breach audit data, designed to make privacy auditing data widely available from healthcare application vendors, and to reduce the overall costs, time and effort associated with privacy auditing. Overall, FairWarning® now provides production support for over 150 healthcare applications including Allscripts, Epic, GE and McKesson (click here for list of vendors).
  • Release of Industry's First Survey on Care Provider Best Practices for Privacy Breach Remediation, a follow-on to FairWarning®'s ground-breaking 2010 Breach Findings Report, which was the first industry report to document insider privacy breach occurrences by locality, category and frequency.
  • Executive Series Webinar in FairWarning® with over 750 registrations, titled "Accounting of Disclosures: Practical Approaches & Enforcement Update".
