The standard relates to governing the movement of devices and media containing ePHI. If ePHI is stored on devices used in community nursing, the devices need to be configured to comply with the technical safeguards inasmuch as they should PIN-locked, data should be encrypted and password protected, and the transmission of ePHI should be done over secure channels. With regards to monitoring the movement of devices and media at all at times, the physical safeguards do not stipulate around-the-clock monitoring. However, many community nursing units have “check-in” procedures to ensure the safety of nursing professionals in the community, and these procedures could be adapted to increase the governance of device movement.
