Capella 4040 Assessment 2 Evidence-Based Strategies for Risk Mitigation

Proactive Cybersecurity Approach: Understand potential vulnerabilities, conduct periodic risk evaluations, and employ deterrents like firewalls, data encryption, and controlled access.

Authentication and Role-Based Access: Utilize two-step verification processes and assign data access based on professional roles. Constant training initiatives can keep staff vigilant against potential threats (Mihailescu et al., 2023).

Key Conclusions

The sanctity of PHI and adherence to HIPAA regulations remains paramount for medical professionals.

The unbridled rise of social media underscores the potential risks associated with PHI. Proactive steps are essential to counteract these.

Swift and decisive action in case of a PHI breach is essential to safeguard patient trust and to prevent legal ramifications.
