Assignment:
Information Security Management Regulation and Policy Strategies in Healthcare
Who will provide oversight for the information security management practices to minimize risk and protect the integrity, fidelity, and security of patient information? What strategies and tools are available to assist with monitoring the information to help ensure compliance with existing regulations? Think of some challenges associated with information security management that will impact security practices implemented and monitored in a healthcare organization.
To prepare for this Discussion, review the information in the assigned readings and research several external sources from current peer-reviewed references to post your own initial comprehensive response) to the following questions based on the Information Security Officer (ISO) role:
General Hospital needs to implement information security management practices and, to this end, has allocated funds to hire an ISO to propose security oversight improvements to help the facility meet compliance expectations. What credentials, qualifications, and job responsibilities would you recommend for the ISO role job announcement?
a. Provide at least two (2) specific examples of mandatory security measures by current legislation or an oversight organization and what security practice strategies could be implemented for compliance.
b. Provide at least two (2) specific examples of patient rights that must be met and what security practice strategies could be implemented for compliance.
c. What evidence-based audit tools and incident reporting strategies would you apply to ensure compliance with these security standards?
Provide your rationale and evidence from peer-reviewed sources to justify your argument. Please include a salutation in your discussion assignments and include citations in the narrative as well as the bibliography. We will be checking to make sure the references in the bibliography align with those in the text. We will also check to ensure that citations are includes where needed. This is really good practice and ensures that if the content you are including is not original, then the author of that content gets credit for their work.
Please be sure to actively interact on the discussion board. Post your responses early so your classmates can comment on your work. Take advantage of software such as Grammarly to check your grammar. The software is free to students. Use this for other written assignments as well. Please read the discussion board rubric carefully. Note the number of posts needed in this course, as this differs from previous courses. The discussion board will open, an initial posting will be due, and at least two responses to other student posts will be expected. You may post comments to classmates and me anytime, day or night up to the deadline. Also, please note that you should not look at another's initial discussion posting until you post your own.
The discussion board is an opportunity to dive deeply into the week's topic/subject matter and discuss it as graduate students. Besides commenting on others' posts, you can mention interesting subject-appropriate information from outside articles and provide your thoughts (please cite if you use material from the articles), share related information from professional experience (keep in mind it's always good to investigate the literature to see if what you are doing at work is effective/efficient or not), ask thought-provoking questions, etc. Avoid affirmative comments (great job) unless you include something substantive with it to help move the conversation forward.
