    Author: McKenzie DJ.
    Journal: Top Health Inf Manage; 1997 May; 17(4):62-71. PubMed ID: 10168994.
    Abstract:
    Computerized patient records, like paper-based records, are subject to a number of security threats. In the context of health care networks, such as integrated delivery networks, special precautions are required to protect both the confidentiality and the integrity of patient records. The article discusses the principle threats to networked patient data and recommends practical steps to reduce the inherent risks.
