Password Management. (Addressable)
a) Each new network user will be assigned to training classes by their supervisor (via the HR department for new employees) based on the information access requirements established for their job. This train- ing will take place as part of the new employee’s initial orientation training.
b) At the completion of the network training class, each user fills out a form to establish their initial account username and password. This form is sent to the network administrator who ensures that the account is established no later than Friday of the training week, and that the various network application icons are available to the user based on the training classes completed.
c) A user may attend further training to gain access to additional applications, or to gain a greater level of access to information within an application (e.g. for the EMR system, or for the billing system). The us- er’s supervisor must submit an authorization for training to the appropriate application trainer before the employee will be allowed to attend further training. At the completion of each new training class, the ap- plication instructor must forward a signed training completion form to the network administrator certifying that the required training has been completed, before the new access is granted.
d) Supervisors are responsible for immediately notifying the network administrator as soon as it is known that an employee’s access requirements have changed (e.g. a job change to a position that no longer requires the same level of access to ePHI the employee had previously), or if the employee has re- signed or has been terminated.
e) The network administrator will disable the accounts of employees who have resigned or have been ter- minated as soon as the notification is received from the supervisor. Permanent account deletion will oc- cur when formal notification is received from the HR department regarding employee terminations or resignations. All users are hereby notified that the sharing of network usernames and/or passwords with another individual is prohibited and can result in sanctions. Knowingly violating this policy can result in termination for cause.
