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
