I'm a new healthcare provider launching a solo private practice. Security and confidentiality of my patients data is hugely important to me.
I am currently using Daylite as a practice management tool for my practice. I will likely graduate to something else in the future, but for now, it is a very important GTD tool. As such, there are notes and patient data contained in this database--or file references to their data in a separate folder (which will be encrypted). I can secure the actual database (not the application) by going to where it's stored: ~/library/application support/daylite/Storage.dlpdb. Additionally, the program backs up the DB to the following: ~/library/application support/daylite/backup. I was planning on securing the actual DB (Storage.dlpdb) as well as the backup folder.
Dr. D--
My Question is this: Do I need to also secure the actual application, Daylite, and if so, why? I reviewed the literature online but am confused as to when you secure an application versus when you don't. For example, I also use MS Word. I was planning on securing the folders that contain patient information (e.g., progress notes, etc.). But I wasn't planning on also securing Word, the application. Can you advise? In advance, many thanks!
