Protecting the patient’s electronic health record system is very important where security measures should be applied like installing anti-virus software, firewalls and data encryption. These measures should be utilize to keep the data secure from third parties.

In addition, administrative and medical staff should also practice appropriate security measures while using the system by not using other malicious software.
