Workstation Security

Proper entry of user name and password protects our workstations from security breaches. Any workstation left unattended without locking the screen or logging off is vulnerable to a security breach. A patient, student, janitor, or an unauthorized staff member could gain access to PHI under your login that could potentially result in a punishable HIPAA breach. Practice good workstation security and be sure to never leave an open workstation unattended.
