- Develop and enforce strong security policies for employees using mobile devices for work; this includes requiring password-enabled screen locks.
- Focus on protecting the patient information as opposed to focusing solely on devices. Securing the information itself ensures its safety no matter where it is exchanged.
- Take inventory of the mobile devices connecting to the hospital or health system's networks.
- Have a formal process in place so that everyone knows what to do if a device is lost or stolen. Mobile device management software can help automate such a process.
- Integrate mobile device security and management into the overall enterprise security and management framework and administer it the same way.
- Use a screen lock
- Use special smartphone software
- Keep a close eye on the smartphone
