Critical Infrastructure Case Study Reliant, a large health care facility, needed to upgrade its paper recordkeeping system to an electronic version. Knowing that the upgrade was needed, Reliant decided to implement a more secure infrastructure by using access controls to protect confidential information and upgrading its network configuration. Access to the Reliant database is available through the corporate network. Employees use computers and handheld devices to access the data. Every patient at Reliant has personal data pertaining to them such as their medical history, allergies, and blood type. Data such as patients' likes and dislikes and emergency contact information is also available. Doctors and nurses are able to review all the medical information on every patient in the database. Some health care providers are only able to see patients' history from the present date to one year back Hospital volunteers are not able to see any patient medical histories but are able to see the emergency contacts as well as each patient's likes and dislikes. Reliant established an intranet for schedules, planned activities, food menus, and any updates pertinent to all. Access points were established for visitors and the handheld devices used by the doctors and nurses. The handheld devices were required to have an SSL VPN connection to ensure the communication was encrypted. The devices also required user IDs and passwords as a form of authentication. Biometrics were not considered because the staff often wore gloves, preventing the scanners from reading the fingerprints The information that is stored in Reliant's system is confidential and must be kept secure. Access to the documents must be limited and constrained to only those individuals who have the rights to see it. Each user has a specific user ID that limits his or her access. Authentication and access are audited daily to ensure the constraints are in place and the patient data is not accessed. The access controls were carefully implemented and tested after every step to ensure they worked properly. Having volunteers see patients medical histories would have violated Reliant's policy, and the health care facility could not risk access controls being set up incorrectly. Implementing the access control on the access points was vital as well. Ensuring that visitors were not able to access the intranet or any of the corporate resources was important. Providing encryption on the handheld devices protected the data from getting into the wrong hands. All of these implementations for access control and encryption ensured the electronic version was safer than the paper records. It protected the patients, all health care providers, and the volunteers.

Reliant health care system is a growing healthcare centre which has decided to adopt the
use of new technology in the management of data and information in the hospital. This has seen
them adopt the use of the electronic medical records management (EMR) which is a new method
use to plan and arrange data and information so as to speed up and ease work in the hospitals.
Reliant EMR system is one of the best system technologies. From the hospital’s administrator’s
point of view, the EMR system can be daunting at times. The federal grant funding wants to
ensure that the change to the use of digital records has less negative impacts especially when it
comes to usage, management and security (Heart et al 2017). The use of the EMR continues to
grow in many regions in the world today despite the challenges that the hospitals might face
when using the system and that’s the reason why Reliant hospital decided to adopt the security
features so that they could ensure that doctors and patients enjoy the system and at the same time
the information stored in the system is safe and secured from other external issues whereby the
important data and information can get to the wrong hands.
The use of the EMR system seems to be very beneficial to t...
