Answer these questions in light of HIPPA requirements:

  1. Does HIPAA apply to the RTGM system? Why or why not?
  2. How should the system ensure data security during transmission between a patient’s mobile device(s) and servers?
  3. Consider the data storage issues related to a patient’s mobile device and the possible ramifications if the device is lost or stolen. What measures should be taken to protect the data against unauthorized access?
  4. Consider the issues related to health care professionals accessing server data by using workstations and mobile devices within a health care facility. How will the system meet its duty to record and examine access to ePHI? If a health care professional uses a mobile device outside a health care facility, what protections must be applied to the device and/or any data stored within it or transmitted to it?
  5. Consider the issues related to wired and wireless data transmission between servers and workstations within a health care facility. What security duties, if any, apply to transmissions containing ePHI? Does your answer change if the servers are hosted by a third-party provider?
