Nurses can implement several best practices to protect patient information:
1. Strong Passwords: Use complex passwords and change them regularly. 2. Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification. 3. Regular Software Updates: Ensure all systems and software are up-to-date to protect against vulnerabilities. 4. Education and Training: Participate in cybersecurity training to recognize and respond to threats effectively. 5. Secure Communication: Use encrypted methods for transmitting patient information.
