2019 Best in KLAS Report Ranks Protenus No. 1 in Patient Privacy Monitoring
Healthcare compliance analytics company achieves national recognition after survey of nationwide customers
BALTIMORE, MD – January 31, 2019 – Protenus, the healthcare compliance analytics platform that protects patient privacy for the nation’s leading health systems, announces today that it has been ranked the leading provider in the patient privacy monitoring category of the 2019 Best in KLAS: Software & Services report.
Founded in 2014, Protenus uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze every single action taking place inside a hospital’s EHR and ancillary systems. These advanced analytics proactively detect inappropriate accesses to patient data and provide health systems full insight into how health data is used throughout their organizations, often for the first time. AI-powered analytics allow healthcare privacy teams to rest assured that their patient data is safe and allows them to focus on the true threats to their organization and patients.
Protenus was also named the 2016 HPE-IAPP Innovator of the Year and 2018 Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work in Healthcare. Protenus co-founders were recently recognized on a list of Becker’s Hospital Review Rising Stars in Healthcare in 2018.
“We considered several other organizations, but Protenus offered a substantially better product. We are a large organization with multiple hospitals, so we needed to ensure that our EMRs were safe. Keeping tabs on our many providers and patients is a monumental effort, so we needed to find a tool to do much of that legwork.” – KLAS survey respondent, June 2018
