A

Unauthorized and inappropriate access by employees into their employer’s EMR system.

Employees typically have broad access to patient charts to provide health services in accordance with their employment duties. This unfettered access is normally permitted so that relevant personal health information is readily accessible to care providers, especially in emergency situations

97
Q

Discuss theft as a privacy risk

A

The theft or loss of computers and portable devices such as laptops, tablets, USB keys, external hard drives, and cell phones can result in the inappropriate disclosure of personal health information.

While the mobility of these devices makes them convenient, it also makes them vulnerable to theft or loss. Where these devices contain personal health information, it is important to verify that the employer permits the use of these devices, and that they have implemented adequate safeguard measures.

Such measures should include user authentication, encryption, malware protection, and remote wiping capabilities to ensure that personal health information is not accessible in the event of device loss.

98
Q

Discuss disclosure as a privacy risk

A

The inclusion of more than one person’s health information within a medical record can result in inadvertent and unauthorized disclosure of personal information. Requests for health information must be carefully reviewed to ensure that only the concerned individual’s information is being released.

References to any other patients or individuals should be identified and redacted.

99
Q

Discuss disposal as a privacy risk

A

A lack of secure procedures for the disposal of records containing personal information can result in a privacy breach.
