For convenience and time reasons, hospital staff often work with shared accounts. This is quick and you don’t have to log into the system again for every transaction. However, this comes at the expense of data protection and IT security. So alternatives are needed. We will show you how you can continue to work conveniently and securely.
Working with shared accounts in hospitals or other healthcare organisations is not usually a deliberate practice, but can be due to various factors.
Hospitals often have a large number of healthcare professionals who need to access patient records, medical systems and other IT resources. Managing individual accounts for each employee can be administratively burdensome. Shared accounts are sometimes used to rationalise and simplify access.
However, there may also be a lack of resources and expertise to set up and maintain a comprehensive user management and security infrastructure. This is particularly the case in smaller or less well-funded healthcare organisations.
Another reason is time pressure. In emergency situations or busy areas such as the emergency department, staff may need to access information or systems quickly to save lives. In such situations, shared accounts can be set up temporarily to speed up the process.
However, this can be problematic for security and compliance reasons.
A lot of sensitive data is handled in hospitals. It is therefore particularly important to handle it with care. But there are also other reasons for individual accounts:
