Slide notes:This lecture discusses concerns that people have about security of health information. One of the ways to protect privacy is to make information more secure. There are many books and resources available that provide insight into security best practices, including assessment, ongoing management, and training and education. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR), created the Guide to Privacy and Security of Electronic Health Information to help you integrate privacy and security into a health care practice. You can access the guide at https://www.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/privacy/privacy-and-security-guide.pdf. These organizations have also provided a YouTube video to complement the Guide. Check out the video called Guide to Privacy and Security of Electronic Health Information located at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phrXsdnhE7w. What concerns do people have about security? The following slides look at the many points of leakage in the system, some of the consequences of poor security, and the related topic of medical identity theft.
