Feelin' Alright

Here is the right way to implement a new program:

"When I came to Children's in 2001, I brought the philosophy that if we do things right, then issues like [the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] will take care of themselves," says Albert Oriol, IS program office director and data security officer at The Children's Hospital in Denver, an integrated health delivery system affiliated with the University of Colorado. His philosophy has paid dividends, including cost savings by enabling the hospital to combine disaster recovery and fail-over and simplify its upcoming move to a new state-of-the-art facility seven miles away.

Compliance does not need to be separate, incredibly painful process.
