One unlocked screen at Main Street or Riverside can expose dozens of patients. Your habits are the first line of privacy protection.

Use only authorized systems and role-based access, verify recipients and lock screens. Report suspected privacy incidents to the Privacy Officer immediately; do not investigate privately.

• Lock your workstation (Windows + L) every time you step away, even for a minute.
• Use only your own EHR login; never share passwords or badges.
• Print to the front desk printer only when needed and pick it up right away.
• Shred paper with patient information in the locked gray bins, never the regular trash.
• Open a chart only when you are caring for that patient or doing your assigned task.
