Towing The Lifeline

摘要

Although there are many obstacles facing administrators in the health care industry, one of the biggest challenges for these personnel is navigating the matrix of regional regulatory requirements while working to further grow the business successfully. Kristen Knight, director, privacy compliance at Philips Healthcare, says Philips works hard to understand how best to meet the international requirements that impact its business, customers and patients. "Philips plays an active role in industry consortia and leads efforts aimed at addressing these challenges within our industry," she says. "We work both inter- nally and with outside resources to keep abreast of changes in the privacy realm and how those changes may affect our business and our customers."
