Various measures are taken to protect sensitive information in nursing, including:
Encryption: Encrypting electronic health records ensures that even if data is intercepted, it cannot be read without the proper decryption key. Access Controls: Limiting access to sensitive data only to authorized personnel helps safeguard patient information. Training: Regular training sessions for healthcare staff on data protection practices help maintain high standards of confidentiality. Audits: Regular audits and monitoring of data access help identify and address potential security breaches.
