Rationale: Appropriate policies are: Access codes are assigned to authenticate each individual user's identity and may not be shared with anyone (not even staff members or administrators); both students and employees sign documents that explain the consequence of termination for misuse of the system; two students are dismissed from the site for breaches of confidentiality and the inappropriate use of data within the information/paper system. It is also possible that legal action may follow. Each student's faculty should be notified and each school will review its own penalties. Students should never share confidential PHI with any unauthorized person and documents such as the MRI report should be properly disposed of. An inappropriate policy is: Allowing employees to sign other users in under their access code; this is never acceptable for any reason.
