  • Title: Preserving confidentiality and security of patient health care information.
    Author: Williamson JB.
    Journal: Top Health Inf Manage; 1996 May; 16(4):56-60. PubMed ID: 10157662.
    Abstract:
    The lack of a uniform legal or regulatory scheme that applies to the protection of privacy in health care information and marketplace pressures placed on health care providers for access to patient data require physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers to establish and maintain security measures to protect against unauthorized access to patient records and vigilantly safeguard against improper disclosure.
