Why Minnesota is a Leader in Privacy and Security Solutions

This writer has been a big fan of the efforts made by several states in the area of privacy and security. Obviously, my bias towards TN and our Vanderbilt Workshops is self-evident, as is my bias towards the effective and transparent processes conducted under Lisa Rawlins and colleagues in Florida.

But arguably the very best reads on this topic in the last year have come from James I. Golden and Colleagues from the Minnesota Department of Health. Their HISPC web site is a valuable resources cited by others. As examples:

• Follow this link to a summary of a "Framework of Principles" addressing the 4 As" (authorization, authentication, access controls, and auditing).
• Follow this link to the February 16, 2007 interim HISPC solutions report
