Start by taking an inventory of all of the devices within your practice that are used to access and/or store EPHI. We recommend including what the device is intended for in regards to use/access to EPHI. Make sure to include the operating system the device is using. Remember your inventory will need regular updating depending on changes in employment and system updates. Tip: Set reminders in your calendar.

Review your practice’s policies to make sure they encompass mobile devices. Training and enforcement is, as always, the key to your practice’s success.
