Clearwater Compliance Earns Exclusive Endorsement of Georgia Hospital Health Services

“Given its broad implications on both patient privacy and patient safety, cybersecurity has become a top priority for all Georgia hospitals,” said Georgia Hospital Association President Earl Rogers. “With that said, we are pleased to have Clearwater, through its partnership with GHHS, offer its expertise and educational offerings to help Georgia hospitals take a proactive, comprehensive approach to addressing this critical issue.”

“Clearwater is honored to have received this special validation of our solutions by Georgia Hospital Health Services,” said Bob Chaput, CEO of Clearwater Compliance. “We understand the challenges hospitals and health systems face. We will offer to Georgia’s healthcare leaders a new, strategic approach to address today’s continuously evolving threat.”

“Having worked with GHA in a similar capacity in the past, I am excited to work again in partnership with GHA to provide value to its members by addressing such a critical issue,” said Barry Mathis, Chief Business Development Officer of Clearwater Compliance. “We are having solution-oriented conversations with the entire C-suite and board, in many cases, as leaders are now recognizing this is not an IT issue but an overall business risk issue that must be addressed as a priority.”

While Georgia hospitals provide life-saving healthcare services, they also represented $47.8 billion of the state’s economy in 2015 and supplied more than 143,000 full-time and part-time jobs in the state.
