Why you need a passcode

How a personal passcode protects patient data on shared devices.

Table of Contents

Clinics often share screens and tablets. A personal passcode keeps those devices quick to use without leaving patient records open to whoever walks past.

What it gives you

  • Privacy: a locked screen hides patient details until someone authorised unlocks it.

  • Accountability: because each person has their own code, work on a shared device can be traced to them.

  • Compliance: individual access supports the access controls that data protection rules expect.
