These tools have the potential to positively impact healthcare on a global scale, but not without risk. Privacy concerns and security risks are major barriers to the use of mobile devices in a healthcare setting. ]]> 2023-07-11 16:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2642830725 Advantages of Mobile Devices mwood1421 https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2642877484 In the fast-paced world of healthcare, there is an ever-increasing demand for quick and reliable access to more and more information. Smartphones provide a means of access that is available to nearly all healthcare workers with direct patient contact. In the linked literature review, the authors examined the use of personal smartphones in the workplace among nurses. They found that 64% of nurses had used their smartphones to access medication, pathophysiology, and education information, 50% had used their phones to contact other members of the healthcare team, and more than 75% of nurses would prefer to use their phones for information (de Jong et al, 2020).]]> 2023-07-11 18:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2642877484 References mwood1421 https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2642925739 1. de Jong, A., Donelle, L., & Kerr, M.

While two factor authentication via ones phone or email address is the standard, the next step is biometric verification. Biometrics is not new, in fact the department of homeland security has been using face recognition since 1969. It is already being applied in healthcare. The perfect example is accessing the Pyxis by requiring a password and finger scanning.

Personal mobile devices used for work in a professional healthcare environment pose a substantial security risk for employers. Potential risks include being connected to the hospital's unsecured public Wi-Fi, the possible presence of undetected malware on a phone, and persons other than the healthcare worker having access to the phone. Despite most hospitals having policies that prohibit personal cellphone use at work, "...most nurses considered their smartphones as helpful technology in their workplace" (de Jong et al., 2020).]]> 2023-07-13 17:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2644555728 Mobile Device Use in Healthcare Facilities mwood1421 https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2644589415 Please view this short video for a discussion on how healthcare facilities can safely utilize mobile devices in the workplace.]]> 2023-07-13 18:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2644589415 Implications on Nursing Practice and Patient Care mwood1421 https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2644603754 Healthcare facilities stand to benefit from taking advantage of the capabilities of modern mobile devices.

No one really wants to have their private information out
accessible by the public. Privacy and Confidentiality involve protecting personal or sensitive information from being accessed or disclosed without proper authorization. Encryption is a commonly used technique to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of data. By encrypting data,
it becomes unreadable to unauthorized individuals, and only those with the appropriate decryption key can access or decipher it (Stanford, 2014).]]> 2023-07-15 18:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595169 Electronic Security https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595343 Security refers to the protection of electronics systems, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, manipulation, or damage. It involves various measures and technologies to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital information (U.S. Department of Commerce, n.d.).]]> 2023-07-15 18:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595343 Securing Network Information https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595518 Securing network information is a crucial aspect of electronic security. It involves implementing strong network security measures to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
This can be achieved through the use of firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and virtual private networks (VPNs). According to IBM (2021), “communicating by using the private network is inherently more secure. Security controls attempt to prevent cyber security threats from attacking the network, however, attackers sometimes are successful, these tools help to create a secure perimeter around the network and monitor for any suspicious activities or attempts to breach the system (IBM, n.d.).]]> 2023-07-15 18:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595518 Other Security Measures https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595670 other security measures such as access controls, user
authentication, and data backup are employed to safeguard privacy and confidentiality. Access controls restrict access to information based on user roles and privileges, ensuring that only authorized individuals can view or modify the data (Microsoft, n.d.). User authentication methods like passwords, biometrics, or two-factor authentication add an extra layer of security by confirming the identity of users.]]> 2023-07-15 18:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595670 Data back-up, a good practice https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595788 Regular data backup is crucial for ensuring the confidentiality of information. Backing up data regularly helps in recovering it in case of any security breaches, system failures, or data loss
incidents. It is important to store the backups in secure locations, preferably off-site or in the cloud, to prevent unauthorized access or physical damage (Berkeley, 2023).]]> 2023-07-15 18:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595788 Summary https://padlet.com/lcole41/8m7z9mdjais58d0y/wish/2645595864 Overall, electronic security plays a vital role in securing network information, protecting privacy, and maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive data.
