April 21, 2020 4:02 pm Human Resources & Staff Management Cybersecurity Tips for Physicians Working at Home The American Medical Association and American Hospital Association have jointly released a document offering cybersecurity tips for physicians working from home during the health emergency, including how to watch for email phishing and ransomware attacks and how to secure your work with elements such as a virtual private network (VPN) and multi-factor authentication. News & Knowledge All Curi recommendations are based on current CDC criteria at the time of publication. CDC guidance for SARS-CoV-2 infection may, or may not, be adopted by state and local health departments to respond to rapidly changing local circumstances. Providers should always check with their local health department to see if the CDC’s guidance on any given topic has been modified (particularly if more restrictive) from the CDC’s recommended guidelines. Follow this link https://www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/healthdirectories/index.html for contact information to your state/local health department. If local recommendations vary from those of the CDC, and you are unsure what recommendations to follow, then it is safer to follow the more restrictive guidelines/recommendations.
