You are to assume the role of an employee at Graham Healthcare, a healthcare and insurance company. A co-worker has asked to explain why security and information privacy are important in operations.
Your department works with inputting patient care into the server and assigning billing codes. The tasks of the job allow you to see patient information including personal information and healthcare information.
Your co-worker is complaining about needing to change passwords too often to enter the work portal and to access patient accounts. The co-worker also does not understand why the office is secure with locked doors, needing a passcode or assistance to enter. Finally, the co-worker does not understand why signed agreements are needed from all employees to keep all patient records confidential.
