Confident Women Leaders – 10 Key Steps To Prevent A Privacy Breach

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Jean Eaton in Blog

It only takes a little time and effort now to dramatically reduce the likelihood of a privacy breach in the future.

Recently, I was a guest on Confident Women Leaders Community Facebook Live hosted by Kathy Archer, Leadership Development Coach with Silver River Coaching.

It was a lot of fun to talk with Kathy about how small business, not-for-profit organizations, and clubs can quickly and easily build in privacy with their employees and volunteers as part of good business practices.

Practical Privacy Tips

We talked about the 3 simple practical tips every organization can use to prevent a privacy breach. This works for every type of organization.

Tip #1: Create an inventory of the personal information that your organization collects and is now responsible to keep confidential and secure.

Know what you collect, and review the reason why you collect the information. Make sure that you collect the least amount of information on a need to know basis at the highest level of anonymity. Use the inventory like a library account – keep track of who has access to the information, and when it is returned.

Tip #2: Create a checklist for the orientation of each new employee and volunteer that clearly tells them of your organizations expectations about how they will keep volunteer, employee, client, and donor personal information private, confidential, and secure.

Name a privacy officer in your organization and make sure everyone knows who this is. Make sure to train and support your privacy officer so that they can do a good job for you.

You can use the 10 Key Steps To Prevent A Privacy Breach Checklist as part of your orientation package.

Tip #3: Make it easy for volunteers and employees to keep information confidential and secure.

It’s not always about technology.

You can manage personal information on paper. Or, you could use private shared computer networks for your authorized users, like board directors and managers, to access all of their organization business records.

Here’s an example of a breach in a social service agency who did not properly secure board minutes containing confidential information on a computer server and faced a $25 million lawsuit.

Do You Want to Become a More Confident Leader?

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Jean Eaton in Blog, PMN Replay

Have you just been told that you are responsible to train the new person in your healthcare clinic?

Are frustrated when you try to connect the people you supervise or work with?

Do you struggle to address issues, identify problems, or move things forward?

Are you feeling hesitant, overwhelmed or unsure in your day to day responsibilities?

Do you  sometimes feel like the world is out to get you, it’s somebody else’s fault, or find yourself saying if only they would change, or if only things were different?

Not sure what to do next?

Then you have come to the right place!

Kathy Archer of Silver River Coaching is our guest expert on Practice Management Nuggets Webinars for Your Healthcare Practice. Kathy will share her tips and tools with you so that you can start your journey to restore your lost confidence and move from surviving to thriving in both leadership and life.

Many women working in a small practice clinic have leadership roles thrust upon them without clear expectations or support. We don’t all naturally grow into our leadership roles as quickly as situations demand.

Join the webinar with Kathy, and leave the webinar with a renewed hope that you can feel in control of your leadership experience.
