Bimal Sheth, HITRUST Executive Vice President, Standards Development & Assurance Operations, leads the development of the HITRUST Framework (HITRUST CSF) and assurance program. His teams are responsible for conducting research on information protection practices, enhancing the framework by incorporating new or updated authoritative sources, ensuring the reliability of HITRUST certifications, and educating the HITRUST community about the HITRUST Framework (HITRUST CSF). Bimal has spent his career working with organizations to provide assurances over their information protection programs.
Rural hospitals need trained people, tested backups, downtime procedures, clinical continuity planning, and staff who know what to do when an alert fires. A framework won’t substitute for that work, but it helps organize it and makes progress measurable.
