How To Include Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment
Keeping information safe and secure is a challenging development for businesses of all sizes over the last few years. Remote working and using cloud hosted services forced healthcare practices to change, or at least re-examine, their cybersecurity practices and protocols.
According to CyberEdgeâs Cyberthreat Defense Report, 85% of organizations suffered from a successful cyberattack in 2021.
A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an important tool to help understand the risks to patient health information and your healthcare business.
Does Your PIA Include Cybersecurity Risks and Mitigation Plan?
You should review your PIA regularly, at least annually, and update your risk mitigation plans when there is a change in your administrative, technical, or physical practices. You also need to consider that the threat environment external to your business, like the increasing risk of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, can damage your business.
In this Episode #107 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, Jean L. Eaton, Practical Privacy Coach with Information Managers shows us how to include cybersecurity risks in your PIA.

Have you ever had an employee who has made a mistake and now youâre scrambling about what to do next?
Your business needs a set of reasonable rules and guidelines for employees to follow. This helps to create a safe and respectful workplace and protect the privacy rights of your patients and employees.
Your healthcare practice should have a written policy and procedure to guide you in your response to a privacy and security incident.
Sometimes, our employees have been directly involved in the incident. For example:
Petty theft (personal gain) Snooping in patient or employee records (disregarding policies) Faxing a report to the wrong recipient (carelessness) Using patient or employee information to cause harm (malice)When employees and healthcare providers fail to meet our expectations sanctions or discipline may be appropriate.

In this episode #104 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, Lind Stirling will walk you through some of the essentials for creating a profitable book that represents you well.
Would you like to help family members of your patients to be better prepared to support your patient after treatments? Would you like to coach your patients in between in-person visits? Do you ever feel that you could help more people avoid / prevent illness if they just did this one thing that you specialize in? Do you want your patients to be more compliant with the follow-up actions that help your patients recover faster? Would you like more referrals from other providers to your practice?You can accomplish these goals when you build your authority, appeal, and profits as an author.
When it comes to writing a book, people are usually in one camp or another. The first camp thinks itâs easy and the second camp thinks itâs too daunting to tackle.
The fact of the matter is that both groups need strategies and with these strategies they can be successful.
Breaking strategies down into manageable nuggets is where authors find success.
Before you even consider strategies, however, you need to think about your why. Thatâs where the power of success lies. Once you are clear about your why, that gives you the mental energy to complete your book.

Healthcare Employers, Privacy Officers Need To Prevent Employee Snooping
Human curiosity, interpersonal conflicts, shaming or bullying or financial gains are common motivators for snooping. We seem to be hard-wired to want to peek into someone elseâs personal and private information. Snooping is a violation of trust between our patients and the healthcare providers and the people who work for them.
We want our patients to trust us. We need patients to share their personal information with us so that we can provide the appropriate health services to them. When healthcare providers and employees snoop in our patientâs information we destroy that trust with the patient. When employees are snooping in personal health information, it costs the employer time and money.
What Is Snooping?
Looking at someoneâs personal information without having an authorized purpose to access that information to do your job is known as âsnoopingâ.
Even when you are âjust lookingâ at personal information but donât share that information with anyone else, this is still a privacy breach.
It is illegal.
Snooping incidents are on the rise and can cost you time, money, heartache, and headache in your practice.
When there is an offence under the privacy legislation like the Health Information Act, there may be an investigation, charges and court appearances, fines, penalties, and loss of employment.
Snooping is entirely preventable. You can easily use the 5 low-cost steps to prevent employee snooping in your healthcare practice.

You might need to amend your PIA if you want to:
add a new digital health app or patient portal to make it easier for patients to book appointments with you, or get access to Alberta Netcare Portal, or the CII or CPAR projects, expedited Netcare Privacy Impact Assessment, use the internet to get telehealth on-line consultations for your patients, update your participating custodians and privacy officer, and regular review to ensure that you are continuing to meet the requirements of the Health Information Act (HIA).A PIA is a practical business tool in your healthcare practice.
A PIA is an important tool that you can use to help you with project management.
It will help you anticipate risks to the project before it starts and avoid serious problems, and wasted time and money.
The PIA process requires you to have written policies and procedures so that you can implement the project effectively and train your staff consistently.
Sometimes a PIA is a requirement of legislation. But it is always a best practice whenever you implement a project that includes personal health information.

Recently, I was asked about what privacy awareness training can you do at the clinic to keep privacy awareness top of mind.
How do you keep Privacy Awareness top-of-mind in your practice?
As an employer and health care provider, you are responsible to provide training to all of your employees about privacy awareness. If you donât provide the training, if the employees donât understand the policies and there is a privacy breach, then the healthcare provider is more likely to be held accountable under the legislation and face penalties including fines and even prison!
Protect your organization and your patients. Equip your staff with the information they need to confidently and correctly handle personal health information. Healthcare businesses who want employee and supervisor level privacy awareness training to support key policies, procedures and risk management programs need a privacy awareness training program.
Here are some easy to implement tips to help you get started with your privacy awareness program.

Mergers and acquisitions and closing and consolidating are activities that healthcare practices undertake at various times in the life cycle of a business.
There are many reasons why a practice may consider buying or acquiring an existing healthcare practice.
You might be expanding your practice to rapidly expand the scope of your services, location, or space. Or you might be downsizing your practice. Or maybe you're merging multiple practices into one streamlined practice so you can better manage your profit margins.
You might be looking to diversify your services or, perhaps, create an area of super-specialty that will provide a competitive advantage for your healthcare practice.
You might be wanting to acquire skilled employees or healthcare providers that you couldn't recruit in your current circumstances.
You might be acquiring or consolidating real estate infrastructure, medical equipment or electronic medical records, computer networking, or perhaps the management team. Or you might be exploring opportunities for economies of scale or cost-cutting.
As a custodian (including physicians, pharmacists, dentists, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, optometrists, and more) you need to ensure that the patient's health information remains private and secure, and that patients have continued access to their health information.
In this episode, Iâm going to help you with

Closing or moving a healthcare provider practice takes co-ordination, patience, communication, and documentation.
Once you have made the big decision about closing, moving, or merging your practice and have a general idea about the next step for you, your practice, your employees, and your patient and business records you need to plan the continued administrative, technical, and physical safeguards of the patient health records.
Patients and clients have a unique trust with their healthcare provider. They trust that you will provide them continuing healthcare and continued access to their own health information that you have recorded. You are also expected to securely keep their personal health information and follow your professional college standards and health information privacy laws.
