Considering the information stored in the Sports Physical Therapy database, what security measures are important?
Because the database contains medical information about patients, their therapies and who their therapist is, it would be beneficial to password-protect the database to ensure only authorized employees can access the health data. If the database had a way to secure certain views, then different employees could be assigned different levels of access. For example, the accountant could see the patient’s name, address, balance, bills, and any payments, but not see the actual therapies performed.
Secure database with passwords for authorized access. Utilize view permissions to restrict data access based on roles.
