Week 3 Discussion
As a health care manager, how will you ensure privacy and security for your patients? Provide examples.
I will ensure privacy and security for my patients by using a secure file-sharing and messaging platform. Using a secure file-
sharing and messaging platform will provide privacy and security to patient records through the platform’s security features offered
in its software. Security features in file-sharing and messaging platform applications will allow me to store and exchange patient information without compromising confidentiality. A platform using security features such as end-to-end encryption to ensure that messages regarding patients can only be accessed by the intended recipients. Multi-factor authentication
adds extra protection against unauthorized access, using more than one password method to gain access to patient records. Other methods than be used along with a password are
one-time passwords, numeric codes, and receiving codes via email or SMS text messages to a mobile device. Lastly, using secure file sharing can securely transfer of sensitive documents, if I use platforms like Drop box, and Microsoft OneDrive for business. They are the type of applications that I can store my patient’s information, documents, and records in
and allow my co-workers access by using the same server. What are some consequences of not implementing privacy
and security standards?
Some consequences of not implementing privacy and security standards are
financial and legal consequences. Organizations with employees that do not comply with HIPAA privacy and security regulations are at serious risk of having to pay
financial fines if there is a breach of patient data. An
organization and employees that are responsible for the breach can face financial penalties to civil or criminal prosecution, organizations can be fined by The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for up to $1.5 million per year. References
