FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — September 14, 2004 — Courion® Corporation (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), a leading provider of self-service identity management solutions, today announced that it has partnered with Unisys Corporation to present an executive breakfast briefing titled, “Assessing and Managing Risk to Meet HIPAA Requirements.” The session will feature Children’s Hospital Boston’s Chief Information Security Officer and Director of IS, Paul Scheib, and Premera Blue Cross’ Manager of Information Systems Security and Senior Security Architect, Laurie Leer. The invitation-only event will highlight each organization’s process for identifying areas of risk and evaluating solutions that solidly addressed compliance requirements while increasing operational efficiencies. The hour-long briefing will be held on September 28 at 7:30 am in the Vineyard & Yarmouth Rooms, 4th Floor at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.

“The ’Assessing and Managing Risk to Meet HIPAA Requirements’ briefing will provide attendees a unique opportunity to juxtapose perspectives on HIPAA compliance from two leading healthcare organizations—one a payer and the other a provider,” said Shahriar Beigi, Solutions Director, Compliance Advisory Services, Unisys. “Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the issues facing both sides of the industry. We are pleased to co-host this exclusive event to executive members of the healthcare community.”

“Most organizations today are faced with some form of regulation with which they must comply,” said Kurt Johnson, Courion Corporation vice president of business development. “As a result, compliance continues to maintain its spot at the top of corporate priority lists, and in many cases the job of reducing risk lies solely on the office of the CXO. This executive briefing not only presents the payer/provider experience, but also provides for an informal exchange of information among healthcare executives in a forum of their peers.”

Seating for “Assessing and Managing Risk to Meet HIPAA Requirements” is limited. For more information about this free briefing, call 508-879-8400 x305.
