Dallas, TX (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) July 10, 2006 -- In another step towards establishing a vulnerability reporting program for eHealth systems, the board of the eHealth Vulnerability Reporting Program (eHVRP) has appointed chairs for four working groups. The program was established to enhance the security of eHealth systems, initially through the creation of a framework by which eHealth system developers, their customers and security companies communicate vulnerabilities and aid in determining the most appropriate mitigation strategy. There has been a tremendous amount of interest in the eHVRP and the organizational structure is progressing as expected, said Robert Mandel, MD, MBA, Vice President, Health Care Services, BlueCross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and board member of the eHVRP.
The success of the program is heavily dependent on the activities of the working groups and we have assembled a first-class group of individuals representing a broad range of stakeholders to chair the eHVRP working groups. The working groups and respective chairs are as follows:
