Cybersecure your physician medical practice

The Office of thte National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has a web-based security training module on its website entitled "Cybersecure: Your Medical Practice." This is a great compliance training tool.

The module uses a game format that requires users to respond to privacy and security challenges often faced in a typical small medical practice. Users choosing the right response earn points and see their virtual medical practice flourish. But users making the wrong security decisions can hurt their virtual practices.

I think the use of gameification is a very innovative approach aimed at educating all physician providers and their staff to make more informed decisions regarding privacy and security of health information.
