Safe & Secure

Pecking Orders

Role-based security means employees have only as much access to the system as their positions require of them, and no more. Best practice dictates that anyone who uses the practice management software should have access permissions based on their role within the organization. That way, a receptionist can’t unwittingly modify a physician’s contract, and a disgruntled ex-employee can’t bring down the entire physician’s practice.

This layer of security is imperative for safeguarding your practice against unwarranted snooping and tampering from both within and without.

The Buck Stops Here

By assigning different levels of security clearance to specific people, it becomes easier to track down the source of any security breach, whether intentional or not. It also helps maintain a level of confidentiality when dealing with the more sensitive aspects of practice management, such as key financial data. Vital practice metrics can be kept on a need-to-know basis, safeguarding assets and ensuring data privacy in an otherwise transparent system.
