Ensemble and Protected Health Information

Organizations are responsible for maintaining appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for protecting e-PHI. Mobile devices are considered to have limited-feature operating systems which limit the user’s ability to control the operating system and therefore a mobile device is more resistant than a full-feature operating system to certain types of attacks. However, additional security settings are required to protect any PHI accessed by the user of the mobile device through means such as third-party applications or websites. Adding a mobile device management solution, like Ensemble, allows the organization to enforce policies that help protect patient e-PHI.
