Incident at Oklahoma Dept. of Veterans Affairs allows staff to use personal smartphones to access patient records. VA officials allowed staff to access records of patients during network outage in July. Oklahoma governor has no authority to fire VA leaders; state’s VA commission has no plans to fire them. Lawyer: Providing healthcare workers with access to patient records via a personally owned device is acceptable “under the right conditions” “Risk exists with permitting any mobile devices access to sensitive information, regardless of who owns the device, if it is not properly secured””]
