HIS Completes Clinical Systems Audit
BWH Health Information Services (HIS) in September completed a user audit of clinical systems to ensure only appropriate staff have access to BICS CI, LMR and CDR. Approximately 95 percent of managers and staff responsible for entering an employee’s or staff member’s payroll time in PeopleSoft completed the online audit for 78 percent of employees with systems access.
The successful completion of this audit is part of the hospital-wide efforts to remain compliant with HIPAA Privacy and Security laws and ensure the privacy and safety of our patients. HIS and Information Systems went to great lengths to make this a smooth and efficient process.
“This is an important self-check to make sure everyone who has access to our electronic clinical systems is supposed to have that access,” said Jackie Raymond, BWH’s director of HIS
