Data confidentiality        

Data security in healthcare is a critical item that should be on the forefront of every technology professional.  In addition to physical security (controlled access to server rooms, workstation security, etc.), what other methods can be used to protect data in healthcare? In other words, what can be done to ensure the data remains confidential, the data is always available, and that the data is reliable?

When responding to your colleagues, please critique the methods to let your colleagues know if this is a viable solution.  If more information is needed, provide a question to prompt the author to add more information that will better secure data.
