NASCIO invites you to join an archived educational webinar on Identity and Access Management in Health IT.

The webinar highlights the benefits of an enterprise strategy for identity management for health IT. Currently, states maintain a variety of duplicative identity records for their residents – as well as a plethora of credentials associated with those identity records. As a result, a single person carries multiple credentials for a single common purpose: to prove that person’s identity as the basis for granting a privilege. Maintaining these redundant systems is costly, inefficient, and rife with security, privacy and safety risks—both for the state as well as its constituents.

Identity management of residents is a key component of health care systems in federal, state and local agencies. If states were able to consolidate duplicate identities and health records—and the credentials associated with those records—they could save time, money and improve service delivery. States could also advance consumer convenience, increase access to services, and improve personal health information security and privacy.

In an effort to lower the amount of data breaches and curtail identity theft, effective policies must enable trust across organizational, operational, physical, and network boundaries. The resulting framework will promote data security, privacy, and the high assurance authentication needed to secure information sharing and transparency in government. Guidance on the approach to identity management will encourage a shift away from stove-piped applications to an enterprise view of identity that enables use without creating redundant sources that are difficult to protect and keep current.

The educational webinar presents an overview of the benefits of using identity management for state-run health systems.

Educational Webinar Hosted by NASCIO and the Smart Card Alliance - Personal Identity Verification Interoperability (PIV-I) for Non-Federal Issuers: Trusted Identities for Citizens across States, Counties, Cities and Businesses

 March 17, 2011

Federal, state, local, and tribal governments currently issue numerous credentials to constituents for access to facilities or services based on a variety of endorsements. Many of the endorsements provide citizens with access to federally funded programs, but the issuance of credentials remains program-specific and has become a redundant process for many agencies and departments. Issuing a digital identity that has multi-platform credentialing options will result in improved efficiency and convenience for both users and issuers. To the extent such a credential is honored by commercial entities, it will also improve efficiency and security of commercial transactions, including on-line transactions.

Educating state and local governments on Personal Identity Verification Interoperable (PIV-I) credentials is the aim of a new white paper (available for download above) the Smart Card Alliance has recently released. PIV-I, based on the same framework as the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards that have been issued to over 5 million federal employees and contractors, provides a way for state and local governments to enable interoperability and trust for a wide variety of identity credentialing programs.

In an effort to lower the amount of data breaches and curtail identity theft, effective policies must enable trust across organizational, operational, physical, and network boundaries. The resulting framework will promote data security, privacy, and the high assurance authentication needed to secure information sharing and transparency in government. Guidance on the approach to identity management will encourage a shift away from stove-piped applications to an enterprise view of identity that enables use without creating redundant sources that are difficult to protect and keep current.

The educational webinar presents an overview of the benefits of using PIV-I credentials in state enterprises.
