ONC puts spotlight on mobile security

The Office of the Chief Privacy Officer (OCPO) has launched a Privacy & Security Mobile Device project, aiming to improve awareness of secure health information use on mobile devices. The project is working in collaboration with the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and plans to identify best practices and communicate them in simple language for healthcare professionals. HHS is seeking input and will hold a roundtable discussion on this project and other mHealth initiatives.
