5 Core Items
• Security
• Find a Provider
• Integration
• Mobile
• Personalization

Security
Security
By Security we mean:
• The data is secure
• The access point is
secure
• Setup is secure
• The system will track
anything that happens
on the portal
5
The Data Is Secure
So the key things to do on your healthcare portal to meet this requirement include:
• Architect the portal to add multiple layers of firewalls, etc.
• Store as little PHI as possible on the portal
• Make the back end data available only via a secure api or service call
• Setup trusted servers between the portal back end systems
• For external calls, setup a secure gateway through a tool like IBM WebSphere Datapower
6
The law demands that any Personal Health Information (PHI) must be
encrypted at rest.
The Access Point Is Secure
You want to grant access to the right person:
• Create a secure login / profile
• Consider adaptive authentication similar to what banks use– Logging computer
– Providing security image
– Asking additional questions
– Etc.
• Secure any login with https. (yes, it’s “no duh!” advice but still important to state)
7
Don’t forget that the easiest hacks may come through social engineering
Setup Is Secure
Some things to consider
• Verify their identity– Key information provided to you by
snail mail
– Check on government id
– Online check of last procedure, unique id’s of that procedure, etc.
• Follow the law but don’t go overboard– If someone is in a hospital about to
have their hip replaced and is sitting in the bed waiting for the procedure………. They probably are that person and you can issue a username/password
8
Most Hospital or Insurance security teams worry about verifying a users
identity. Their nightmare is when a non-authorized user sees someone
elses data. (spouses included)
The System Will Track All Activities
Auditing may not improve security but it does provide clues when things go wrong
• You must track any writes
• You must track any views of PHI
• You must track proxy setup and proxy use
• You should track bill payments and other non-PHI activities
• You want to track via web analytics a variety of other site uses like find a doctor and appointment scheduling
9
Both Payer and Provider need to track auditable activities like changes
to plans, changes to profile, viewing of PHI, etc.
10
Find a Provider
• Typically the first impression of your brand
• Often the most used feature
• Implemented by payers and providers
• Common issues we see– Complicated Interaction
– Unsatisfying results
– Confusing Language

Integration
Integration: The Hospital Version
• Electronic Medical Record Systems
• Invoice System
• Find a Doctor
• Schedule Appointment
• Pre-registration
• Classes and Events
• Customer Service systems
• Web Content between patient and consumer sites
29
Hospitals are rushing into the sharing of data but that demands new
infrastructure that may not exist.
Integration: The Payer Version
• Claims– Members
– Providers
• Payments
• ACO reporting
• Member management systems
• Authorizations
• Etc.
30
Payers have more extensive infrastructure but many still need a better
integration layer and a common set of integration services
All too often, integration means digging out of a hole
Integration: What To Do
• Healthcare Portals must have a service layer …… or two to do their jobs right
• Portals don’t want to store data, they want to make real time calls
• Use or implement a common ESB
• Use or implement a security gateway
• Web Services and RESTful services are most common
• Consider direct api calls if latency is a concern

Mobile Web Sites - What do you do?
• Payers
– Mobile Web Site is a must
• Providers
– Mobile Web Site is a must
34
If you don’t have a mobile web site, you are already behind.
What about a Mobile App
• Do you need a Mobile App available through
the App Stores (Apple, Google, etc)?
• Will a Mobile Web Site suffice?
