Infosec teams need to know about EHRs, timing eccentricity and other challenges of detecting inappropriate access.Information security teams use many tools to protect patient data and now a Vanderbilt University researcher said its time to add a new tactic for detecting inappropriate access to medical information. The industry needs to move beyond statistical anomaly detection the count of accesses and focus on the context of the access, said Daniel Fabbri, assistant professor, biomedical informatics and computer science, at Vanderbilt University, and founder and CEO of Maize Analytics. Moreover, there are tons of timing eccentricities to consider in healthcare that must be thought through. For example, a doctor sees a patient but does not write a note until 24 hours later.
