[extropy-chat] The Hidden Luddite- risk and compliance/IT convergence

[Lifespan Pharma Inc.]

On the other hand government through HIPPA and IT integration of the 
economic food chain
is strangling  risk taking such as I mentioned on my last post.
Nigh to illegal in the formal med delivery system.....
I was telemarketed by someone doing the 60million pre IPO raise for
expansion of ( http://www.singlesourcetechnology.com )
a company whose software, computer service contracts and audit services
will make an iron clad barrier to voluntary risk taking/off-label 
prescriptive practice  by medical practitioners.

Cut the money and tie non-compliance to law enforcement and you choke off
the ability to even consider development of non-staus quo technologies.

I think Stuart's points are well worth considering in this context:

Event Overview:
Many regulatory and governance factors influence business and IT
department activities. Regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II,
GLBA, HIPAA and others have raised the bar for accountability and
credibility standards. The pressure is on executive management to
conduct all aspects of the business efficiently and with complete
transparency, and IT must supply the tools.

As corporate officers and board members demand well-orchestrated
operations, the process becomes more and more complex for IT. The areas
of risk, compliance and governance are beginning to merge, and the
burden rests on an IT manager's shoulders to leverage compliance efforts
to reduce costs and provide valuable benefits to the business process
owners. Do your executives have the necessary visibility into the
business risks and performance measures? Do your executives have the
information they need to prioritize business risks and make informed,
intelligent decisions?

To achieve these goals, several disciplines must work in concert. An
integrated risk and compliance (IRC) platform enables an organization to
respond to the needs for business efficiency and provide both management
and IT with the tools and information they need to be successful.
