Goals of Informational Security in Health Care
An electronic medical record (EMR allows providers and clinicians to access and share a patient's medical health information among authorized individuals. Because there is a risk of a potential breach of privacy and confidentiality, healthcare organizations should establish security measures to protect their data. To assist organizations, the goals of informational security in health care should be considered:
- Ensure the privacy of patients and confidentiality of health care data
- Ensure the integrity of health care data
- Ensure the availability of health data for authorized persons
