March is Social Worker Month |
Social Work Month in March looks at the vital role of social workers in improving our society. This year’s theme is “Social Workers: Leaders, Advocates, Champions.” Every day, the nation’s 650,000 social workers make our society a better place to live. Social workers improve the welfare of communities, individuals, families, and groups promoting development, empowerment, and beneficial change.

Data Security in 2018According to data from Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights, data breaches caused by hacking and so-called “IT incidents” are on the rise. Weaponized ransomeware and phishing emails were among the means that dominated breaches in 2017. These threats are expected to continue, and this year, cybercriminals will likely get even more creative in their efforts. Mobile devices are equally vulnerable to theft and misplacement because of their smaller size and portability. Encrypting PHI on all devices, including portable devices, adds a layer of protection against data breaches. Also, it is important to update all systems to the latest versions which include security updates.
