Today's health care system requires that each patient's information be maintained, collected and analyzed consistent with the highest level of confidentiality and security, particularly when this data is computerized. Hospitals, physicians, insurance companies and everyone handling patient information have to ensure that policies and procedures are in place that provide for the highest level of protection of patient information. Because of the importance of this information, managers and clinicians alike are motivated to have people who understand and are able to deal with these requirements.
