How can data security be maintained in EHR systems?
Data security is paramount in protecting patient information. Measures to maintain security include:
Encryption: Encrypting data both in transit and at rest can prevent unauthorized access. Access Controls: Implementing strict access controls ensures that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information. Regular Audits: Conducting regular security audits can identify and address vulnerabilities. Training: Educating staff on security best practices can reduce the risk of data breaches.
