Impact of security on a healthcare environment and how to overcome it
Warren MJ, Gaunt PN
Poster presentation at IMIA Working Conference "Caring for Health Information", 13-16 November, 1993

Any new technology that is being implemented, i.e. security would cause an organisational impact. The impact would be top down, it would affect the healthcare organisation as a whole. Security is a human issue and should therefore be considered in the context of the staff and the organisation. Therefore the implementation of security within a healthcare environment would affect the hospital managers down to the doctors and nurses on the individual wards. The paper describes a new methodology that has been developed to try to overcome all the stated problems above.
