Useful additional information for professionals storing sensitive health data (applicable to RadarOpus and other programs)

Use a password to protect your PC/Mac and change it every 3 months.
The PC/Mac must be protected by Antivirus and Antimalware.
Encrypt your data whenever possible (e.g. save back-ups and then encrypt the file or password protect it).
Never keep all back-ups in the same place. Have a copy of your back-up in a separate safe place in case of fire, theft or natural calamities (a password protected hard drive in a locked cabinet) or use a GDPR/HIPAA compliant cloud.
Run through a report of how to handle data that is lost or stolen and keep a written record of it.
Ensure you know how to successfully delete data of a patient if required (but check whether the request of the patient complies with national laws regarding the time during which you need to keep patient records).
Ensure you have written consent from each patient to record and keep their personal data.
If you use patient data for research purposes, ensure your patient has given you written permission to use it.
If data is lost or violated in any way, immediately contact local authorities.
