Protecting Personal Health Information
While technology has made it possible to store and access vast amounts of information quickly, it has also made maintaining the privacy of personal health information a greater concern.
Children’s computer systems contain confidential patient, employee and business information. Everyone who uses Children’s computer systems is obligated to take effective steps to help secure and protect information. Always be sure to:
- Lock your workstation when you leave it unattended or unsecured for a short time by pressing “Ctrl”, “Alt”, and “Delete” at the same time and clicking on “Lock Computer.”
- Log off when you leave it for longer periods. Always log off when using a shared workstation.
- Never leave computers logged on when you leave a conference room or an exam room.
