Protect Your Patients’ ePHI
There are a number of controls and solutions that are crucial to protecting ePHI and they become increasingly important as the OCR announces higher fines for violations related to breaches.
Security controls are both technical and administrative. A technical control is a control that uses computer technology or addresses the proper configuration and use of computer technology. An administrative control is one that addresses the preparation and equipping of staff people to improve security.
To protect your organization it’s necessary to implement both security and administrative controls. In order to do that, start off by conducting a risk analysis and implement the right controls based on your findings. And as with anything compliance related, training is crucial.
