Scenario: Dr. Mary McNair, Chief of Medical Staff has contacted you as the Chief Information Officer for McNair Memorial Hospital. She states that she has just come from a Medical Conference in which “Cloud Computing” was discussed and she want to know the following from you:
- Can confidential patient information be securely stored in “the cloud”?
- What do the experts say regarding the security of data that is stored on a remote server?
- What protections would a physician or hospital need to keep their data secure?
- Are these requirements different from those of a non-health care organization and based on your research, would you recommend that cloud computing be used to storing patient information at McNair Memorial Hospital. Why or why not?
Directions:
- Research the topic thoroughly. Type a three (3) page report of your findings to Dr. McNair.
