Objectives:
1. Define Cyber Security and the need for immediate implementation in healthcare. Many healthcare providers, specifically private practice, feel they are off the radar of attacks but they are mistaken and most commonly find themselves victims.
2. What is a risk assessment and why is it necessary? The outcome of the risk analysis is a critical factor in assessing whether an implementation specification or equivalent measure is reasonably appropriate. The information gleaned from a risk analysis allows an organization to
properly plan.
3. Apply simple steps to protect your practice and patient data against cyber‐attacks and applying suitable policies for the security of patient health information when it is being sent, received, or stored.
