Privacy in Clinical Settings
Veronica Miller
Introduction
• Medical records can be compromised (written
or electronic)
• Safeguards need to be in place to protect
personal health information (PHI)
• HIPAA Training needs to be conducted
quarterly
• Adherence to HIPAA can be a benchmark for
annual merit increases
Privacy and Security
• Apply to both paper and electronic records.
• The way they are exploited can be mitigated
differently.
• Shared risks between paper and electronic
• Risk based on the patient record format.
Three Common Risks for both Paper
and Electronic Records
• The risk of inappropriate access
• The risk of record tempering
• The risk of record loss due to natural
catastrophes
The Risk of Appropriate Access
• Gaining access to record storage areas: finding
records left on counters, exam rooms or copy
mahcines.
• Receiving misdirected fax copies
• Inappropriate physical access to records
– Securing against inappropriate access is
accomplished by segregating records into locked
storage areas.
Electronic Records
• Inappropriate access by either unauthorized
user gains access to HER data or an authorized
user violates the appropriate use conditions.
• Medical records can be altered in a number of
ways: back dating, fraudulent entries,
erasures, or other modifications.
Electronic Records
• The ability to make changes to an electronic
record depends upon the rights assigned to
the user.
• Users with data modification privileges can be
added, deleted or modified.
• EHR’s can be accessed by using a server
account rather than a EHR account.
HIPAA
• The Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 provides legislation
around EHR protection.
• Employees should be regularly trained on
HIPAA regulations
• Employees annual merit can be affected by
adherence to HIPAA policies and procedures
HIPAA
• Employees will be trained on HIPAA initially as
part of their hiring training. All employees
must pass the HIPAA test with 100% accuracy.
• Employees will be tested quarterly by their
department managers. 100% accuracy is
necessary to continue working
• Employees who break a HIPAA policy will be
punished and up to termination, based on the
intent.
Conclusion
• The Hospital will control who has access to
EHR.
• Accessing records unnecessarily, employee
will be punished to include termination.
• Employees ability to adhere to HIPAA policies
will be recognized during their annual review
and merit increase.
