Information Security: Doctor's Office

The identified barriers are financial cost, physician and organizational resistance due to low computer literacy skills and disturbance of workflow caused by CPOE systems. The resistance can be overcomed by strategies such as strong leadership, providing trainings, addressing workflow concerns and advocating related policy changes. (Poon, Blumenthal, & Honour et al. 2004). Currently, Canada Health Infoway ( 2016) has promoted CPOE implementation among health care organizations across Canada. For example, North York General Hospital in Toronto has partnered with Canada Health Infoway to develop CPOE systems and share the order sets freely ( Zeidenberg, 2013). With public awareness of the CPOE gradually increasing, now most physicians recognize the positive impact of using CPOE system to improve patient safety , and they are willing to accept the application (Jung, Hoerbst, & Massari, et al. 2013).

The technology needed in this scenario that would make this combination successful consist of network security measures to ensure security of protected health information under the federal requirements of HIPPA

Wireless attacks have becoming a more common security issue when it comes to networks. Attacks can get a lot of information that is being sent across a network and use to commit crimes in other networks. Every wireless network is vulnerable to attacks and it is the important that all the necessary security measures are taken so as to prevent the mess these attacks can cause. These attacks are normally carried out to target information that is being shared through the networks. It is therefore very important to know of such attacks so you will be able to identify the attack when it happens.

Medical records and medical correspondence are increasingly going digital. This has different risks than traditional paper records. Starting with HIPAA compliant software helps keep digital records safe. The IT end of things is a critical piece of the puzzle and one that can be a burden for small offices

The following document shall serve as the RFP (Request for Project) for the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital. Team A has researched the hospital’s current IT systems seeking ways to ensure many years of continued success and compliance with the very best practices in the IT community today. Specific areas such as networking architecture design and the future proofing of the design for speed, accuracy, and security of the system shall be discussed as part of this RFP. Special consideration was given to the sensitive nature of the security surrounding patient information while

Guidelines: It’s always best to introduce a paper to the reader. It sets the tone and provides an overview of what will be covered and what the goals are.

As more healthcare information is stored and transmitted digitally, ensuring that your organization complies with the myriad of federal and state regulations is becoming increasingly difficult. As part of this digital transformation, healthcare organizations are partnering with cloud companies, data processors, and other organizations that must also comply with HIPAA business associate requirements. This has resulted in an increase in the scope of security challenges for healthcare providers and their business associates.

People tend to keep private information private as the consequences of such information being exposed are dire. Identity theft being one of the main concerns. Sometimes, it depends on the type and severity of the medical condition. In extreme cases, this could lead to public isolation. There are exceptions to this. Highly communicable and contagious diseases need to be disclosed beforehand for prevention.

Context: Our networks are becoming more vulnerable because of wireless and mobile computing. Ubiquitous devices can and do pose a significant vulnerability. In this activity, you are to think outside the box and determine how to best defend against these threats.

Massé, D. (2012). $389 M mobile application security market set to explode as threats increase. Microwave Journal, 55(11), 56-56.

There are a multitude of patient privacy (HIPAA) and patient information concerns related to the use of technology in medical care. Selection of the proper hardware, operating systems and system software make the compliance with and documentation in support of these regulations far easier.

Preview of Main Points: Threats on mobiles, what to secure (how it works), and how to secure it order to prevent threats from happening.

In addition to the threats and vulnerabilities inherited with wired local area networks (LAN) there are many more risks associated with the use of wireless and mobile technologies. The use of laptops, smartphones, and tablets create vulnerabilities that can fall outside our network securities measure. Attackers will be able to bypass the firewalls and gain direct access to the doctor’s data. Once an intruder has access to the network the intruder will be able to launch denial of service

Abstract :-Smartphone usage has been continuously increasing in recent years. Moreover, smartphones are often used for privacy- sensitive tasks, becoming highly valuable targets for attackers. The most popular Smartphones, including iPhones and Android Phones are vulnerable to different types of attacks such as denial of convenience(DoC).To address this attack, we propose implementing a novel Internet-access validation protocol that uses the cellular network to send a secret key phrase to an Internet validation server. Then, it attempts to retrieve this secret key phrase via the newly established Wi-Fi channel to validate the Wi-Fi access point
