Discussion #1
Providing access to healthcare providers and securing a system from
inappropriate access can be a difficult balancing act. In many cases, the
more secure a system is, the more restricted access to that system
becomes. Discuss situations where this balancing act has created
conflict or might create conflict within the clinical area and how that
conflict was (or could be) managed.
