Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In faxing,programmed speed-dial keys should be used to eliminate the chance of a dialing error and misdirected information.An automatic sign-off is a safety mechanism that logs a user off the computer system after a specified period of inactivity;it is used in most patient care areas and other departments that handle sensitive data.Disciplinary action,including loss of employment,occurs when nurses or other health care personnel inappropriately access patient information.All papers containing private health information must be destroyed.Most agencies have shredders or locked receptacles for shredding and later incineration.Strong passwords are combinations of letters,numbers,and symbols that are difficult to guess.A firewall is a combination of hardware and software that protects private network resources (e.g. ,the information system of the hospital)from outside hackers,network damage,and theft or misuse of information and should not be bypassed.
