MCLEAN, Va., March 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WidePoint
Corporation (NYSE Mkt: WYY), a leading provider of Managed Mobility
Solutions featuring enterprise-wide telecommunications management,
cybersecurity, identity and data assurance, and consulting
solutions deliverable in a secured cloud, has partnered with C4UH,
a non-profit organization, to provide high assurance credentials to
enable a solution that protects patients' privacy and health
records.
"The WidePoint/C4UH solution allows healthcare organizations to
comply with regulations such as the 'protection of meaningful use
data,' being pushed by Health and Human Services (HHS) and the
'accountability of prescription distribution,' from the Drug
Enforcement Agency (DEA)," said John
Odden, Executive Director of C4UH. "The WidePoint/C4UH
solution is cost-effective and quicker to implement, and enables
credentials to be used across other organizations, obviating the
need for individuals to carry multiple credentials."
With the increasing number of incidents of identity theft and
data compromise in the commercial sector, the emerging adoption of
mobility options in health care combined with the migration to
electronic healthcare records will result in unacceptable levels of
risk to a patient's private healthcare profile and history. By
providing a secured, high assurance solution, we directly address
maintaining the integrity and safekeeping of our Heath Care records.
"We see Healthcare as an important market for our Managed
Mobility Services," said Steve L.
Komar, WidePoint CEO & Chairman. "According to the CDC,
Healthcare is the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy,
employing over 18 million workers." He continued, "WidePoint,
long a leader in providing high assurance credentials that help
protect our national security infrastructure, brings this same
level assurance to the Healthcare industry."
