34
Q

Mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and USB keys have added a new layer of complexity to this task. The great advantage of these devices–portability–is also their greatest vulnerability, making them susceptible to loss and theft.

For that reason, personal health information should only be stored on mobile devices if necessary, and even then you must take steps to minimize the risks to privacy. Before you store personal health information on a mobile device, take these steps first.

___.

Ask yourself: Do I really need to store any personal health information on this device?

___.

Consider the alternatives. For example, would de-identified information serve the same purpose? Can you access the information remotely through a secure connection or virtual private network instead?

___.

If you must store personal health information on mobile devices, make sure they are encrypted and protected with strong passwords. Additionally, you should store the least amount of information possible, for the shortest amount of time.

• Relate the computer or other devices to the patient/client’s information by using
terms such as “your record” or “your chart” as you log on and access patient/client
information
• As you are viewing the electronic record, engage in dialogue with the patient/client about how you are accessing or entering information on their record

Use key phrases such as:
o “I’m reading the notes from your last clinic visit and reviewing your current treatment plan”
o “I see from your record you have made great progress with…”
o “I am recording details of the care I provided to you and the results”
• Avoid discussing frustrations about the functionality of the computer system with patients/clients

• Supplement patient/client teaching by sharing and/or printing pictures and
material from resources or internet sites
• Print appropriate patient/client instructions as part of their care or upon discharge

A

Involving

39
Q

• Greet your patient/client and introduce yourself before accessing the computer/
device
• Acknowledge the computer/device as one of your “resources” to assist in
providing care
• Avoid allowing the computer/device to be a barrier to your interaction. When
possible, do not place the device between you and your patient/client. If this isn’t
possible, reduce the barrier by lowering the computer/device so that you can see the patient/client over the top of the screen.
