LHMS is using the Airespace
Wireless Protection System (WPS) to implement a mix of security policies,
such as intrusion protection, "Follow-Me-VPNs," and rogue containment to
ensure compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA). The largest and only community-owned
health care system in the area, it is governed by a publicly elected
10-member Board of Directors and is the largest public system in Florida
that receives no direct tax support. Nearly 85 percent of the
