Patient Studies
Protecting Patient Health Information
Storing patient data on the ACUSON Freestyle only temporarily, and then archiving the data to
your institution’s secured archival systems can enhance protection of your patient’s Protected
Health Information (PHI).
WARNING: Protected Health Information (PHI) such as patient records, is subject to
privacy protection (such as is described in the US Health Insurance Accountability and
Portability Act and the European Union Data Protection Directive, 95/46/EC.) Health care
providers have a responsibility to protect PHI.
WARNING: Be aware that even a highly secured wireless network can be vulnerable to
unauthorized access.
