Information Security

Ensuring the privacy and security of health information is crucial for healthcare organizations. As information becomes more distributed in electronic systems, we face many challenges in maintaining patient confidentiality. This is why UC San Diego Health requires all personnel connected with our organization to understand what to do when situations arise. A knowledgeable workforce is essential for safeguarding patient data and maintaining trust within the organization.

It is the policy of UC San Diego Health workforce members to protect the privacy and security of its information resources in a manner commensurate with the criticality, sensitivity, and value to UCSDH and its clients while ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information to authorized users in a manner consistent with UCSDH business, patient care and mission in the most efficient, effective manner.
