FARMINGTON, Conn
The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), a non-profit standards development organization and accrediting body for organizations that electronically exchange healthcare data, today announced a collaborative partnership with OmniSystems, Inc., a full-service information technology firm providing systems engineering, software development, cybersecurity, and consulting services.

Through this collaboration, EHNAC’s 18 accreditation programs will now be available to current and prospective OmniSystems’ customers internationally, as part of the company’s cybersecurity and privacy service offerings. A steering committee, comprised of representatives from EHNAC and OmniSystems has been developed to evaluate areas of synergistic expertise and to outline future growth plans.

“As the threat of ransomware and other cyberattacks continues to increase year over year on both the international and domestic fronts, it is critical for healthcare organizations to safeguard the protected health information (PHI) within their care,” said Lee Barrett, executive director of EHNAC. “The collaboration with OmniSystems will extend our ability to ensure that healthcare organizations continue to mitigate cyber and ransomware security risks and meet their government’s specific standards and regulatory requirements.”

Echoing this sentiment, Ian Tomlinson, OmniSystems’ president added, “This collaborative partnership with EHNAC will further enhance OmniSystems’ Cybersecurity and Risk Management programs deployed in the government and civilian markets. OmniSystems currently supports the protection of more than seven million citizens’ data across its service portfolio. OmniSystems continues to enhance its Cybersecurity program offering as cyber threats evolve and change daily.
