Within today’s healthcare environment, patient-identifiable data is rapidly transitioning from paper-based records into digital form with the adoption of electronic health record systems (EHR). One key benefit to this change is enabling healthcare professionals to serve care and treatment goals more quickly and efficiently than ever before. At the same time, the industry is confronting a host of new security, privacy, and compliance challenges.
Every healthcare environment has unique issues surrounding the secure distribution and use of patient information. Among them are the challenges of using both digital and paper-based documents as organizations make the transition to EHRs. Managing the transition from the physical to digital and the integration of the two can significantly impact an organization’s workflow. A combination of thoughtful policies with the right technologies can help provide a secure method for dealing with both physical documents and digital records.
