          high-performance, cost effective secure networking and
          identity-based access solutions

WHAT:     Will present a session on securing electronic health care
          information titled "A Security Story: How Lehigh Valley Secured
          Patient Data in Three Easy Steps"

WHEN:     At Medical Records Institute's TEPR+ 2009 conference to be held
          Monday, February 2 through Thursday, February 5, 2009

          "A Security Story: How Lehigh Valley Secured Patient Data in
          Three Easy Steps" will take place Tuesday, February 3, 2009 from
          9:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. PST.

WHERE:    Palm Springs Convention Center
          277 N. Avenida Caballeros
          Palm Springs, Calif.

DETAILS:  Healthcare organizations are under pressure to keep patients'
          health records confidential. However, securing electronic health
          records is easier said than done, especially when information
          sharing between physicians is a standard business requirement.

          Medical Associates of the Lehigh Valley knows a thing or two
          about simultaneously sharing and securing patient data. In the
          last two years, they have used electronic health records,
          provided doctors and staff with remote access to patient files
          and significantly upgraded their network security infrastructure.
          Reginald Best will describe the upgrade process, report on which
          network security technologies satisfy HIPAA, and share lessons
          learned during the IT overhaul.
