In the healthcare industry, caregivers handle Personal Identifying Information (PII) of patients daily, in addition to Protected Health Information (PHI) and Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI). And now with the increase in home healthcare, there is an ever growing demand for this sensitive information to be portable.
Within the healthcare industry, HIPAA provides specific guidelines on how a patient’s sensitive health information is to be protected. HIPAA’s “Privacy Rule” pertains to all PHI, including paper and electronic. Kroll Fraud Solutions has created an eLearning course designed specifically for healthcare professionals. Participants will be given an in-depth look at a data breach scenario that takes place within a healthcare facility. They will find out first-hand how a data breach happens, who is impacted, who is responsible, and how to play a role in prevention.
This one-hour course delivers best practice training for handling patient sensitive information, and the safeguards one can use to minimize the risk of a data breach occurring in their organization.
Quick Facts:
Healthcare organizations are particularly vulnerable to data breaches.
Sensitivity of data.
The healthcare industry is responsible for maintaining its patients’ most sensitive Personal Health Information (PHI). PHI is a treasure-trove for identity thieves.
Immense Dataflow (masses of data flowing in and out).
Facilities often do not know where all of their patients’ sensitive or confidential information resides within the network.
Portability/ Usage of EPHI (Electronic Protected Health Information) storage devices.
Improvements in technology and the portability of patient data come at a cost to security. Devices used to store and access PHI have grown exponentially.
