HIPAA TIPS OF THE WEEK



3.03.08 TIP OF THE WEEK
HPO Message Of The Month (March 2008)
"Keep Tabs On Your Mobile Devices
&
Protect the Data Stored On Them"

Mobile devices include items such as Laptop Computers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) or Smart Phones.  They help us perform our jobs while in and out of the office, but they also create privacy and security risks if they are not properly secured. 

It is everyone's responsibility to protect mobile devices and the data/information (e.g. medical, financial, research) being stored on them.  If you lose a device or have one stolen, please immediately contact your department management, the BSDIS/UCMC Service Desk at 2-3456, or the HPO at 4-9716 for assistance.
