What are Common Security Measures in EHR Systems?

1. Encryption: Protects data by converting it into a code to prevent unauthorized access.
2. Authentication: Ensures that only authorized users can access the EHR system. This often includes multi-factor authentication.
3. Audit Trails: Keeps a record of all access and changes to the EHR, which helps in identifying and analyzing security incidents.
4. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Limits access to information based on the user’s role within the healthcare organization.
5. Regular Security Assessments: Continuous monitoring and risk assessments help in identifying vulnerabilities and implementing necessary updates.
