Problem: Using your readings and course activities, describe strategies for developing new standards and guidelines to protect electronically-accessible health information. To develop new methods to safeguard PHI within EHRs, I would create a termination checklist and add the option to revoke employee access to the EHR. I would also implement a procedure to ensure our compliance officer periodically checks who has access to where all PHI is stored and revokes that access as needed. The organization can better protect its PHI and itself against lawsuits if it follows the standards and procedures recommended by enforcement agencies and identifies issues that may compromise the security of its EHR.
