Lee is right, a disclaimer to inform users will help protect the company from 
responsibility for user actions.

I would recommend as well:

1.       Disallow guest logins

2.       Change the Demo user default password.

3.       Use multi-tenancy to segregate data (if you have users without HIPAA 
clearance).

4.       Set business policy to only put HIPAA-sensitive data certain fields 
(for example, only in Work Info, and default to internal, you could also add a 
HIPAA type of Work Info entry).

5.       Consider any reporting to be sure those fields are not exposed.

6.       Consider using Remedy Encryption to encrypt communications to and from 
the server.

I'm sure there's more, but I have to run to a meeting.  :^)

Shane,

Someone from HCA should be on this list who could answer in greater detail, 
but... at one time, they had customized Remedy to include some legalese that 
was presented to the Remedy user upon logging in related to Patient sensitive 
information.  In addition, I believe there were certain categorizations that 
would trigger an additional audit record, because those categorizations were 
related to Patient Sensitive information.  Finally, in asset management, there 
were fines associated with patient sensitive information being left on an asset 
on disposal, so there was workflow that would remind the user of that during 
the disposal process.

There may be more... and I may have forgotten a few things here and there.  But 
that was the gist of them I believe...

I have had a request from our security officer to find out if there are any 
specific security concerns we should be aware of in relation to processing 
Incident tickets in a healthcare environment.  I think he is specifically 
looking at the Summary, Notes and Work Info data that could be entered by the 
Service Desk or any of the Technicians/Analysts.  If anyone from the healthcare 
industry has some insight they could share I would appreciate it.  I apologize 
for not being able to be detailed in the request, but this was presented to me 
as a hypothetical so I don't have much to go on.
