Downing notes that if a laptop is stolen from an employee, data could be compro- mised and alerts would have to be sent out to thousands of patients. Yet if the laptop was encrypted, thieves would not be able to take the data as well. “Encryption, to me, seems like one of those low-hanging fruit things where if you’ve got devices on the move, whether it is a mobile device or a laptop or an iPad with patient information on it, it’s time to encrypt it,” she said. One of the hardest best practices to implement is evaluating business associ- ates. While hospitals may have privacy and security protocols in place in addi- tion to rigorous training of staff, enti- ties that work with health care facilities might not be as vigilant. AHIMA en- courages hospitals to obtain reasonable assurances of compliance with HIPAA Security Rule from current business as- sociates. Riggi believes cybersecurity should first and foremost be viewed through the lens of patient safety and care. “Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue. It really is an enterprise wide risk issue and should be incorporated into an en- terprise wide risk management issue.” Gina Gallucci-White is a staff writer for BridgeTower Media.

By MIKE COSTANZA After years spent running a business or nonprofit, how can a high-powered executive unplug? These three seniors have managed to turn in their keys, open other doors and enjoy life out- side the office. “I say to people, ‘I should be in jail, I’m having such a good time,’” says Dan Meyers, former president of the Al Sigl Community of Agencies. Fran Weisberg has spent decades helping to shape the Rochester re- gion’s healthcare system. She’s been the president and CEO of Lifespan of Greater Rochester Inc., once headed the nonprofit now known as Common Ground Health, and formed her own one-person firm, Weisberg Consulting.

Joseph Lodato used a part-time job to transition from high-level executive to retiree. “It gave me the opportunity to work, but yet still have somewhat the flex- ibility of retirement,” the 70-year-old explains. In the summer of 2014, after 14 years as the CFO of the Victor firm Flightline Dan Meyers Systems, Lodato was ready for a change. “It was time to move to the next stage of my life, which is the retire- ment stage, where I can spend more time traveling and being with my fam- ily,” he says. Flightline is part of the Ultra Elec- tronics Group, which is based in Brit- ain. As Lodato approached his last days with the local firm, Ultra offered him a temporary position as the financial director of four of its other divisions. Though those divisions were as far away as London, he could work from home, using the Internet and telephone to stay in contact with them. Lodato took the job. “For about a year, I was able to still work, but from home,” Lodato says. “That kind of eased the transition some- what into retirement—rather than cold turkey.” His workweeks rarely reached 40 Fran Weisberg hours, and Lodato could even do his job while in Florida, to which he trav- on a daily basis,” Lodato says. els on-and-off during the cold months.

RPO Continued from page 1 RPO began its life as Eastman Ko- dak’s optics group and, like many things which share their roots with Kodak, in- evitably went independent. Forty origi- nal Kodak workers came over to RPO after being laid off, with 28 now re- maining on staff. In the time since the downturn of Kodak, RPO has made a name for itself across the spectrum of optics applications, from its original military bread and butter to the lenses in the HTC Vive virtual reality headset. Its markets are as diverse as they come in the tech industry. President Randy Shaw, Unger, Bu- bacz, director of marketing Joseph D’Ambrosia and director of business development Lisa Belodoff are excited about the future of the optics industry and RPO’s ability to keep up with new trends. “We’re not just doing precision glass molding. We now have the advanced plastic optics group, which Kodak used to have as well, but we’ve advanced that immensely as well,” D’Ambrosia said. “We’re doing components as well as assemblies, and we’re doing electro- optical sub-assemblies and electro-opti- cal components, which is a whole new growing area of the company.” RPO’s roster of new specialties comes with a lot of new departmental focuses, particularly in research and develop- ment. Unger heads that team, which is constantly searching for new products, new ways of integrating RPO’s tech and new markets to dive into. “Self-driving cars, security cameras, medical devices and imagers, a lot of thermography, commercialization in the medical market, life sciences, consum- er use for energy efficiency, looking for leaks in your windows and doors,” Unger said. “These are all areas which have a consistent growth, and ones that we can find ways to enter into.” For a good portion of RPO’s exis- tence, the main focus has been on de- fense contracting.

Customers need to be confident that when they provide their confidential information to a gov- ernment entity, that information will remain con- fidential. That trust was breached by this incident in which staffers apparently threw away records containing Social Security numbers and other sensitive information without first shredding the documents. It is encouraging that County Clerk Adam Bello acted quickly to investigate the mishandled infor- mation and release a report in an effort to restore public trust. “I want customers to know that they can feel confident in the integrity of our DMV offices, that we have taken steps to guarantee their informa- tion is handled in an appropriate manner, and that this mishandling of private information is not ac- ceptable,” Bello said. The report Bello released Wednesday explained how the confidential material was mishandled and noted actions Bello took to ensure that forms are handled properly going forward. Whether those steps are enough to make sure this doesn’t happen again—and whether they re- store public confidence—remains to be seen. The decline of coal: Should it be reversed?
