  2008 NOV 24 - (VerticalNews.com) -- SearchAmerica, announced its upcoming webinar, Red Flag Rules Forum, to discuss the recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Red Flag Rules that were established to curb identity theft in the United States. This new regulation has caused much discussion and confusion across the healthcare industry. With this event, SearchAmerica is bringing clarity and offering practical steps towards achieving compliance to the Red Flag Rules.

  In addition, SearchAmerica is pleased to welcome Ms. Naomi Lefkovitz, Attorney, Division of Privacy and Identity Protection from the FTC as an independent guest speaker who will discuss the Red Flag Rules, share some common misperceptions and frequently asked questions from healthcare networks, and answer questions from attendees.

  "Until now hospitals sought to accurately identify patients for clinical purposes, however, with the advent of the Red Flag Rules they must now do so from a legal and business perspective as well," commented Daniel Johnson, President and CEO of SearchAmerica. "SearchAmerica is pleased to have a history of successfully enabling hospitals to accurately identify patients, and detect and respond to numerous situations including red flag events. We appreciate the FTC's willingness to participate in this event and provide additional information on the Rules, while responding to questions from the audience."
