After reading the article, review the sections on Technical Safeguards, including Access Control and Audit Controls in this module’s reading assignment. The author states that audit controls are “‘hardware, software, and /or procedural mechanisms that record and examine activity in information systems.’ Most information systems provide some level of audit controls and audit reports. These are useful, especially when determining if a security violation occurred” (Gartee, p. 404).

Next, review the information presented in the table. This data was pulled to view a general login and logout pattern in the EHR for hospital staff on the morning listed (01/05/16). These are descriptions of these staff members’ positions.

1. Joann Ward is a nurse who works in the general surgery floor.
2. Steven Williams is a registration clerk who works in the radiology department.
3. Lee Worley is a health information clerk who processes requests for records from other healthcare providers and facilities.
4. Mary Smith is a nurse who works in the labor and delivery unit.
