Chicago, IL November 29 – Healthy Interactions, a leading global provider of diabetes patient engagement and education programs that have reached over 30 million patients in 127 countries validated by 57 independent clinical studies, today announced it has earned Certified status for information security by the Health Information Trust (HITRUST) Alliance. With the HITRUST CSF Certified Status, Healthy Interactions meets key healthcare regulations and requirements for protecting and securing sensitive private healthcare information.

CSF Certified status indicates that the organization has met industry-defined requirements and is appropriately managing risk, and places Healthy Interactions in an elite group of organizations worldwide that have earned this certification. By including federal and state regulations, standards and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST CSF helps organizations address these challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.

“Over the past decade, Healthy Interactions has had one single minded purpose: to improve the lives of patients with diabetes. After 30 million patients, it remains our passion – though our methodology has become increasingly more digital. The protection of electronic health information is important to us, our health system customers and their patients. We are proud to have achieved HITRUST CSF Certified status as a validation of our on-going commitment to data security,” says Paul Lasiuk, CEO at Healthy Interactions.

“HITRUST has been working with the industry to ensure the appropriate information protection requirements are met when sensitive health information is accessed or stored in a cloud environment,” said Ken Vander Wal, Chief Compliance Officer, HITRUST. “We are pleased that Healthy Interactions has taken the steps necessary to achieve HITRUST CSF Certified status, and we expect their customers to have confidence in this designation.”
