This chapter describes Privacy and Security considerations for
the use of the Vscan Extend. It describes the expected intended
use, the Privacy and Security capabilities included, and how
they are configured and used appropriately.
This chapter assumes that the reader understands the concepts
of Privacy and Security. Privacy is the property of protecting the
personal private interests of patients. Security protects both
system and information from risks to confidentiality, integrity,
and availability. Security protects Privacy but also protects more
broadly against these risks. Privacy requires security. In
Healthcare one must balance privacy, security, and safety. Most
of the time there isn't a conflict between these three domains of
risk. The healthcare provider organization is encouraged to use
risk management procedures to assess and prioritize privacy,
security, and safety risks. Through the use of risk management
one can determine how to best leverage the capabilities
provided in the Vscan Extend Ultrasound product.
