Those working in healthcare have to be fully aware of the ethics and data privacy legalities involved. Because so much is done digitally these days, it is easier for data to be hacked and this causes issues not only for patients, but for employers as well. The University of Cincinnati, along with its online MHA degree students, has created an infographic which explains how to ensure healthcare data compliance.
The infographic covers the importance of ensuring a patient’s identity before providing any sensitive information, questioning the reasons why people are requesting data, the importance of secure IT equipment, and the importance of access controls based on job title. All patients have the right to keep their health care data private, and any practice or hospital who doesn’t ensure this confidentiality, could face a huge lawsuit.
The above infographic was created by the University of Cincinnati.
