EMS hires new billing company to boost cyber-security
Elizabeth City Daily Advance - Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Medical Services is moving patients' billing data to a new, cloud-based service, in another step to protect that sensitive information after last year's cyberattack on the county.Pasquotank County commissioners last week approved spending about $14,600 to switch from TriTech, EMS' current billing software provider, to Ambulance Information Management, of Slippery Rock, Pa.In proposing the switch, County Manager Sparty Hammett said the company would store patient data securely and off-site ? a key goal after December's cyberattack. Hackers exploited a vulnerability, since closed, in TriTech's software that allowed access to almost 15 years' worth of patient records, creating a risk of identity theft for patients.Commissioners' meeting agenda also explains the AIM switch comes with a $5,000 start-up cost, but afterward will only cost about $9,540 a year. That's the same cost as what TriTech charges, it notes.In an interview later one, EMS Director Jerry Newe
