SVMIC Telemedicine: Essentials of Virtual Care Delivery
Some examples where technical/security issues could result in
patient injury and a claim include:
• Glitches in computer programs, records, or
miscommunication could lead to medical mistakes
• Incorrect patient records could cause prescription mistakes
• Hackers may alter medical records, adjust electronically
controlled devices, tamper with communication records,
or assume the identity of healthcare provider and contact
patients
Taking the steps to protect patient confidentiality and ensure
systems security will help reduce patient injury and subsequent
claims.
