Health information technologies (IT), including electronic health records (EHRs) and mHealth technologies, are expected to play a key role in improving the quality of health care delivery for Americans and improve the performance of health care delivery. The federal government has committed $27 billion dollars over the coming decade, to fund the implementation of EHRs through an incentive-based program for organizations that demonstrate "meaningful use" of certified EHR technology. Though the potential for EHRs to improve the quality of health care is generally understood, researchers suggest that concerns about the confidentiality and privacy of EHRs present significant barriers to their effective use. As health IT becomes more widespread, health information breaches are increasing, as is public attention to such breaches, as are general concerns about the privacy and security of health information. The objectives of this workshop, the second iteration of the Securing Information Technology in Healthcare (SITH) workshop, are to: advance our understanding of the causes and consequences of security breaches; and promote the security and privacy of health information. feedback from workshop participants to a focused post-workshop survey, and a short after-action report. These products will provide the basis for an article summarizing the key ideas of the workshop for a relevant journal (e.g., IEEE Security & Privacy).

健康信息技术（IT），包括电子健康记录（EHR）和移动健康技术，预计将在提高美国人的医疗保健服务质量和改善医疗保健服务性能方面发挥关键作用。联邦政府已承诺在未来十年内投入270亿美元，通过一项激励计划为那些证明“有意义地使用”经认证的EHR技术的组织提供EHR的实施资金。虽然EHR提高医疗质量的潜力得到了普遍的理解，但研究人员认为，对EHR的保密性和隐私性的担忧对其有效使用构成了重大障碍。随着健康信息技术的普及，健康信息泄露事件越来越多，公众对此类泄露事件的关注也越来越多，对健康信息隐私和安全的普遍担忧也越来越多。本次研讨会的目标是，第二次迭代的安全信息技术在医疗保健（SITH）研讨会，是：推进我们对安全漏洞的原因和后果的理解;并促进健康信息的安全和隐私。讲习班参加者对讲习班后重点调查的反馈，以及简短的行动后报告。这些产品将为相关期刊（例如，IEEE Security Privacy）。
