Overview: This session will review the requirements and current issues pertaining to mobile devices and present ways for the attendees to consider how to meet patient desires and stay within the regulations, including processes for managing portable devices, policies needed for ensuring secure communications and storage where needed, and procedures for meeting and documenting patient requests. The session will explain the HIPAA regulations that apply to the use of portable devices, both as tools for staff to use, and as a means of communication with patients. Proper use of portable devices requires consideration of a variety of purposes: for personal use, for business use not involving any identifiable patient information, for business use that does involve identifiable patient information, and for commnications with patients. Each type of use requires careful consideration of the rules and the risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. For business uses with no patient information, the constraints are few, so long as you are sure there is no patient information involved with those uses, But if you include any patient information, you need to ensure the information is protected. Even so, patients are allowed to ask to communicate with you in any way you can reasonably handle. Just what is reasonable and what is allowed according to guidance from HHS is discussed. When it comes to using mobile devices to interact with medical records systems, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has issued draft guidance on such use (NIST SP 1800-1), including recommendations on how to secure communications and how to vet your HIPAA business associates providing communications. The guidance will be presented and discussed. Once patient information is involved, the devices used by a provider or their staff must be properly secured through the use of good passscodes and encryption with remote wiping of data if lost or stolen, and if you allow staff to use their own devices for business work, what happens when they trade in their old phone when the new one comes out?
