Do You Know Where Your Patients' Data is Being Stored? | Medcurity Live 039

The Medcurity Podcast: HIPAA Compliance | Security | Technology | Healthcare

Alexa talks with Joy Easterwood, (Attorney at Johnson, Pope, Bokor, Ruppel & Burns, LLP) on the importance of knowing where every piece of your Protected Health Information is being stored, and who has access to it. When it comes to keeping patient data safe, every employee should know how to handle PHI, and who to ask if they have questions regarding sharing this data. Joy and Alexa go over the important aspects of conducting a physical walkthrough of your location to determine the location of sensitive information, and what to do when an employee with access to PHI leaves your organization. We are very excited to have Joy on the show to share with us some of the expertise she's gained from her experience navigating compliance!
