Many organizations are transitioning from paper to digital information systems, such as client management, Electronic Health Record (EHR), and Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) software. These types of systems enable providers to give higher quality health care to clients by allowing collaboration with colleagues and access to personal information from remote locations. However, the shift to digital records brings new risks to organizations that can compromise patient confidentiality and result in HIPAA compliance violations.
