Though all these electronic techniques offer augmented efficacy and flexibility, they also significantly enhance the safety menaces to healthcare data.

IFGICT Healthcare Standard Compliance Policies

The organizations holding confidential patient data must have technical and physical security, according to HHS. Following perquisites are involved in physical safety:

  • Access to the data should be limited. Only authorized people have access.
  • Organizations must implement policies about the availability and utilization of electronic data.
  • The relocation, removal, discarding, and reprocessing of electronic media and protected health information must be controlled.
  • Electronic PHI must only be accessible to the official personnel. Accessibility control covers encryption, decryption, exclusive user IDs, automated logoff, emergency access process, tracking logs, and audit reports for recording activities on software and hardware.

Integrity measures also come under technical policies. For example, they verify that electronic PHI is not damaged or changed. In addition, organizations need to ensure no data transmission occurs through email, the internet, or private networks like private cloud.
