Using the cloud data life cycle to protect patient privacy

The increasing use of cloud technology in healthcare poses privacy and security risks due to the storage of data in multiple jurisdictions, according to Dr. James Angle from Trinity Health. He emphasizes the importance of privacy engineering, conducting privacy risk assessments, and understanding the data life cycle to protect patient information. Dr. Angle will discuss these topics at the upcoming HIMSS21 conference. The session will also cover how HIPAA’s privacy rule applies to security and information sharing.
