Earthquakes, Hurricanes, and Tornadoes– OH MY!
The recent unusual natural events like the East coast earthquake and Hurricane Irene reminds us that unexpected disasters do happen. That is why every medical practice and healthcare facility needs a solid and reliable method to protect and secure all data records (everything from patient EMR data, billing records, etc.).Even without suffering a natural disaster, there are tons of other threats to locally stored data— accidental erasure, hard drive failure, a lost or stolen laptop, etc. that could prove detrimental to your business.
Take a moment to assess the level of risk you are faced with by answering a few essential questions…
-
Are backups of your EHR performed nightly and taken offsite each week?
-
Are all of your backups encrypted using NIST 800-111 standards, i.e. FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption?
-
Are all of your backups tested regularly to ensure successful restoration and integrity of data, i.e. tested on a quarterly basis?
