HIPAA Excellence Award
Kentucky Health Center Network (KHCN) supports 27 organizations comprising over 600 clinic sites, playing a pivotal role in advancing healthcare security across Kentucky. Under the leadership of CEO Jennifer NeSmith, KHCN has set the gold standard for HIPAA compliance and data security in community health centers.
The continued funding provides technical assistance and support to help safeguard electronic protected health information and keeping the supported organizations up to date and compliant with HIPAA regulations. This unwavering commitment to HIPAA security not only strengthens patient trust but also elevates the entire healthcare system in Kentucky.
Jennifer NeSmith’s leadership has been instrumental in the powerful partnership between the Kentucky Health Center Network and the Kentucky Regional Extension Center. Together, we have driven significant advancements in health IT adoption, security, and interoperability, ensuring that health centers can focus on delivering exceptional, patient-centered care.
Thanks to Jennifer’s vision and KHCN’s support, community health centers are better positioned to protect sensitive health information, while streamlining care for Kentucky’s most vulnerable populations. Her efforts have undeniably helped create a safer, more efficient healthcare system, making KHCN a worthy recipient of the HIPAA Excellence Award from Kentucky REC.
Congratulations to Kentucky Health Center Network for their HIPAA Excellence Award!
