title: EMR confidentiality and information security.
abstract: Healthcare is no longer one patient and one physician. Many people and services are involved, and they all need access to the same accurate, complete data to provide excellent care. The onus is on healthcare providers to come up with information security solutions that don't hinder patient care while still providing the confidentiality of patient information.
