Top Strategies for Securing EHR Systems - PrognoCIS

One of the most critical things to keep in mind about patient data protection is that there is no “silver bullet” that will automatically make security a forgone conclusion. True protection is less about any one major move that you’re making and is more about a series of smaller ones. The strategies outlined below, for example, work together to create a robust framework that will help you protect sensitive patient data as much as possible. 

Data Encryption 

At a bare minimum, any EHR system you leverage should employ data encryption methods for both in-transit and at-rest information. This means that data is essentially being “converted” into a code to prevent unwanted access under any circumstances. Only those authorized users with deception keys can access the information contained within the system. 

Access Control 

Access controls rigidly define user roles and permissions based on someone’s job within your organization. While everyone who works for a healthcare organization may need to access the EHR, not all of them need access to every kilobyte of data. Access control makes sure that only people who need sensitive patient data to do their jobs actually have it.
