CLEARWATER, FL – January 29, 2014 – FairWarning, Inc., the inventor and world’s leading supplier of patient privacy monitoring solutions for electronic health records, has been awarded the first ever Category Leader Award for Patient Privacy Monitoring in the “2013 Best in KLAS: Software & Services” report, January 2014.

Healthcare industry executives continue to prioritize building trust with patients by driving patient privacy breaches out of their healthcare communities as well as sustainably complying with federal and state law. Patient Privacy Monitoring allows care providers to:

• Build their reputation for protecting their patients’ confidentiality, a competitive factor in attracting and retaining patients with sensitive medical conditions
• Expand trust in their electronic health record investments which have grown significantly in recent years
• Confidently prepare for the Office for Civil Rights’ HIPAA audit program as well as Meaningful Use audits

“FairWarning and its customers envision a healthcare industry in which patients share their most sensitive medical details without privacy concerns in order to receive the best care. We have made ongoing investments to achieve this vision, and are proud that this category is now being measured through KLAS,” says Kurt Long, FairWarning CEO and Founder.

FairWarning believes the KLAS Award reflects its continued company-wide commitment to customer success, through the prioritization of investments in:

• FairWarning 3.1 product platform launched in late 2012, which has since driven a 70% increase in production customers
• FairWarning Private Service Cloud, which provides the ability to proactively support customers with upgrades, maintenance, and 365 days a year monitoring and support
• FairWarning Ready Engage customer community, the largest social community of its kind that offers peer-to-peer interaction for sharing challenges, ideas and best practices
• FairWarning Ready Certified Professionals Training, with over 200 professionals scheduled for certification by year end 2014
• FairWarning’s recently announced Privacy Excellence Awards, judged by industry experts, which celebrate healthcare leaders around the world who are committed to privacy as a business asset in delivering the best care possible. Award winners will be announced during the HIMSS Annual Conference on February 25, 2014
• Sound intellectual property foundation through patented technology, with the core patent for Patient Privacy Monitoring issued in late 2013
