How can physical security measures help protect patient data?
Physical security measures are equally important. These include:
1. Secure Storage: Histological samples and records should be stored in locked cabinets or rooms with restricted access. 2. Surveillance: Implementing surveillance systems in areas where sensitive data is stored can deter unauthorized access. 3. Disposal Procedures: Proper disposal methods for physical records, such as shredding, should be in place to prevent information leakage.
