Health Information Privacy and Security Week
April 12–18, 2009

Protecting Information
—It's a Top Priority

Health information is vital to the delivery of care, and so is keeping it secure. Health information management and technology professionals work diligently throughout the year to ensure valuable information is only available to those who need it and no one else. It’s more than a commitment. It’s a mission, and it’s essential to maintaining the trust of the people and communities we serve.

It’s a cause we celebrate and reconfirm each year during Health Information Privacy and Security Week.

“Protecting Information—It’s a Top Priority” is the selected theme for the 2009 celebration. The message will be on prominent display April 12 through 18, 2009, as we reassure the public their information is in safe, reliable hands. Equally important, this week is a time to recognize and reward the hard work and tireless commitment of valued staff members who help you keep health information private and protected throughout the year.

The theme is depicted on the Health Information Privacy and Security Week logo. Please join us in recognizing our dedicated professionals and renewing the confidence of our communities. The logo is available on gifts, awards, promotions, and recognition items specially selected for the 2009 event, and each item helps spread this important message of rededication and pride.
