Implementing Information Security in Healthcare: Building a Security Program (HIMSS Book Series)

Bought for a class, really great introduction into this material. I found it easy to understand complex concepts and to get through the book.

I mainly used this for school. Really helpful

This is THE book to get if you have any involvement in information security in the healthcare field. Very in-depth. Worth the price.

Arrived quickly. Brand new as requested.

Excellent book and continuous resource tool. I use this regularly at work and also use it to tech Healthcare Information Security. Students find this book very relevant and useful. Highly recommend this easy to use text.

Wrong book

I'm so glad I work for a college whose library happened to have this book. $75 isn't really worth the price to basically get directed to resources on their website and to read some high level conversations you could get form a webinar. Yeah, ok, if you perfer to read over reading the website or listening to the webinars and you're willing to shell out the money it is a good book. My expectations were different. I expected for $75 bucks to get some really good guidance on compensating controls, or policy templates, maybe even some best practices. I got a few best practices (maybe 4-7 bullet points a chapter?) but nothing that was really different than their website. The most useful materials (for instance, the Medical Device Security review form called the Manufacturers Statement or MD2) is available for free from their website. God bless them for that, but really this book doesn't add much value to the amazing resources on the website. some chapters were good reads and the best coverage out there of some really difficult topics like medical device security and FDA regulatory oversight, but again... not really that much better than this marvelous organization makes available for free.It is not good for:- security engineers and analysts already in the field- consultants already in the field-people willing to spend their time on the HIMSS website and reading those free resources and listening to webinarsThis is really good for the following people:- a manager who has suddenly been put in charge of a security team in healthcare and needs to get up to speed quick-a director who has security responsibilities and needs to know just enough to know the kinds of challenges they face and the kind of impact it will have on your greater IT operations-someone considering going into the healthcare security field from another field, and happens to be able to find this book in a library
