The exponential growth of health data presents increased privacy and security challenges for everyone working in the field. Ensuring confidentiality and security when working with sensitive data will be the focus of the May 28 Compliance and Ethics Symposium, presented by the Office of Compliance and Review of UMass Medical School’s Commonwealth Medicine division.
The half-day symposium More Data, More Challenges: Balancing Data Demands with Privacy and Security Mandates will be held in the fourth-floor amphitheater at 333 South Street, Shrewsbury. Four guest experts will speak following opening remarks at noon from Commonwealth Medicine Executive Vice Chancellor Joyce A. Murphy, with time for questions at the end of each session.
