CHCS SYSTEM SECURITY

The Management Information Department (MID) has been delegated the authority to monitor CHCS for the purpose to control access to and provide guidance on use of the system. Logging-on to the system constitutes consent to monitoring. CHCS contains an audit trail that provides the user’s name and date of each action performed. You will be held accountable for your activities within CHCS including the content of any and all e-mail messages.

CHCS/PRIVACY ACT INFORMATION PRIVACY ACT OF 1974

Reminder Bulletin Unfortunately, several incidents in the recent past have occurred that make it necessary to remind all CHCS users of the CHCS Confidentiality and Password Protocol Statements that each user must sign when they are given initial access to CHCS. This statement addressed the privacy Act of 1974, which imposed responsibilities to prevent misuse or compromise of data concerning individuals. It has three main provisions:

a. CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION – Most of the information within the Composite Health Care System (CHCS) is sensitive, unclassified, personal medical information. Only authorized people or agents are allowed to disclose this information. CHCS users are responsible to safeguard this electronic medical information with the same care and attention that they use when handling hard copy patient records. Federal laws impose penalties for illegally disclosing sensitive patient information. Lawsuits can be the result of failure to safeguard or prevent unlawful disclosure of this information.

b. DATA INTEGRITY – Patient treatment decisions are made from the CHCS database system. The Privacy Act requires mechanisms to ensure data in the system is accurate, relevant, timely, and complete. Users of the system are responsible for ensuring that all data entered into CHCS is accurate.

c. DATA SECURITY – The third provision of the Privacy Act requires safeguards for confidential and secure records. This entails protective measures for preventing accidental or malicious alteration, destruction, or disclosure of personal information which could affect medical care. Among other things, this means that extreme care must be exercised when sending e-mail messages or forwarding telephone consults. Be sure that the message is sent to the exact person authorized to receive this information. Given that there are close to (if not more than) 20,000 users on CHCS, there are many with the same last name (and maybe even the same first name in some cases). Be sure that you select the correct user. If you are not sure of the full name, check with the person before sending the message.

Your Access and VERIFY Codes are unique to you. IT MUST BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL. The code replaces a handwritten signature and is legally equal to a handwritten signature. Remember, you are responsible for everything done under your code and most of what you do while on the system can be audited by MID. Again, remember that as a CHCS user you signed a statement that said: “I have read and understand the security guidelines given above, the necessity for safeguarding my password and the integrity of the CHCS. I understand that if I divulge any information that is protected by the Privacy Act or my passwords, I may be prosecuted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice or the United States Code (sec5 U.S.C. 552a(I)) …” Please treat the information contained in CHCS with the care and sensitivity that our patients deserve.
