For many healthcare organizations and patients, there are concerns when it comes to the records being kept on the computer as far as hacking and employee snooping. With that said there is a program to block some of that but I would have concerns about the wrong staff being able to retrieve information on a patient. With that said what are your thoughts on having employees sign a confidentiality statement and therefore reminded about its importance at staff meetings to ensure privacy for patient records, say within the employee handbook annually. What other safeguards might you wish to put into place toward protection and disciplinary action for breach?
