Question:
Security of Paper vs. Computer Storage
In many ways, security of EHR data is tougher than when everything was stored in paper format. Consider, I cannot walk out of a practice with 50,000 patient records in paper format, but if I had access, I could easily download 50,000 complete patient records to a flash drive, drop it in my shirt pocket, and walk out without anyone being the wiser. What are your thoughts?
