== Measures to ensure patient privacy in our data collection ==

There are several security measures in place:

* a [[~~PDA password | strong password on the PDA~~]] ~~that uses capitals~~, ~~numbers and at least 7 digits~~

* a password at the ~~HanDBase~~ program ~~level and encryption of all patient identifiers on the PDA~~, ~~extending to the backup files~~ on the ~~computer used for synchronization.~~

* [[Pointsec]], the encryption program recommended by eHealth for laptops, runs on the laptops

* network login is required on the ~~computer~~

* regular network login is required to the laptops for the first time

* emailed service desk just now to find out if we can use Pointsec to encrypt the SD card as well [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 09:53, 2 November 2010 (CDT)

* the [[CCMDB.mdb]] used for formatting of data for import into [[TMSX and MedTMS]] is password protected

* computers are located in a locked office with limited access

** Note: at the OAKS hospital due to renovations in progress the PDA itself is in a locked cabinet in an office in the Medical Records department itself.

* PC data is stored on a folder on the [[Regional Server]] when possible; only the data collectors and the data managers have access to this folder.
