The Complex Balance Among Access, Privacy and Security

As more and more data is collected and stored electronically, privacy and security have become hot topics.  We read stories of data breaches virtually every week, and the phenomenon of ransomware demands is becoming commonplace.  Once patient trust is lost, it can take years to restore.  Although it’s entirely appropriate for hospitals to double down on security and privacy practices, the resulting policies may come at the expense of access for those who appropriately need to use patient data for care delivery.  This session explores the important factors to consider when evaluating their policies and balancing access, privacy and security.
