To raise awareness about issues related to the privacy and security of health information, BWH is participating in Health Information Privacy and Security Week, April 14-18. The theme for this year’s event is, “Confidential Is Essential—Protect Health Information.”
“With an industry-wide push towards increased use of electronic medical record systems, we need to understand and address the risks associated with technology and take an active role in ensuring privacy and security of our patients’ protected health information,” said Jackie Raymond, director of Health Information Services and Privacy Officer.
HIS is leading efforts to raise awareness about protecting patient information. Stop by the informational table outside the Cafeteria next week for educational materials addressing confidentiality and how it pertains to you. Copies of policies, sanctions, dos and don’ts, advice on patient confidentiality and give-aways will be available.
