  5. The Problem Cerner enables multiple assess to users from different computers which exposes patient information to unauthorized personnel. For example. A nurse forgets to log out of her computer, yet goes on to log on to another computer there by leaving the other computer unattended.

  6. The Problem • Currently Cerner allows users to remain logged on after a prolonged period of inactivity. • This also allows access to patient data by unauthorized users if the computer is left unattended.

  7. The solution • To correct this problem, the ability to access multiple computers by the same individual should be prevented or limited to charge nurses and unit managers. • This will enable users to log off from one computer before logging on to another computer, thereby protecting patient information.

  8. Solution continuation • Also the computer system should have a built-in capability of automatically logging off after a two-minute period of inactivity. • This added feature will limit or prevent the access of patient health information by unauthorized personnel.
