Case Study: Memorial Hermann achieves enterprise-wide privacy monitoring and proactive breach detection with FairWarning

Memorial Hermann achieves enterprise-wide privacy monitoring across 100+ systems with FairWarning

Memorial Hermann, a large not-for-profit health system and a major Cerner Millennium EHR user, faced a significant challenge. Their existing privacy auditing tools were insufficient for achieving comprehensive, cross-application monitoring required for compliance, leaving them unable to effectively detect or report potential breaches. They turned to the vendor FairWarning for its patient privacy monitoring solution to address this gap.

FairWarning implemented a high-availability solution that integrated with multiple systems, including Cerner and GE PACS. This FairWarning deployment processes over 200,000 events hourly, provides proactive alerts and advanced analytics, and maintains years of audit logs online. The solution delivered the necessary reporting and breach-detection capabilities, successfully satisfying the health system's privacy officers and compliance requirements.
