Did you know that medical data on 20,000 people could be exposed to abuse today? According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HSS), that is the number of people whose protected health information was breached per day on average in 2013. While healthcare practitioners may not realize the value of the data in their care, criminals certainly do. Clinicians and nurses may feel wary of security measures that might slow them down, but there are ways to improve security that will not cost precious moments in an emergency situation.

Patient radiation dose safety has become the latest buzzword. With the emerging regulations and mandates, technologies and best practices, the radiation safety information pool has become convoluted with disparate and conflicting information. With numerous opinions and interpretations on radiation safety trends, best practices, regulation updates and studies, healthcare providers as well as the general public are experiencing difficulties filtering the true message in managing patient radiation dose away from the industry noise. Healthcare providers are constantly reviewing and assessing regulations, best imaging processes and the emerging technologies (automated dose management systems and dose management CT devices) promising to decrease or eliminate the chance of another sentinel event.
