Introduction
In the year 1870, the Royal Children Hospital (RCH) was established at Parkville in
Melbourne. In between the year 2010-2011, RCH has provided treatment to around 33,560 in
patients1. Around 210,956 outpatient clinic appointments and 10,741 have gone for surgery. In
the emergency department, RCH comes up with 70,036 children with approximate around 200
children. Being a healthcare provider, children hospital aims to understand the trust which is not
based on dedication2. It aims to produce best kind of medical attention for children care and
dedication for ensuring the records of the patient. Apart from this, RCH has another kind of
sensitive data of medical information which is protected in most of the cases.
In the coming pages of the report, an idea has been provided with respect to requirements
of data security at RCH. The current problem in RCH along with security plan for tackling it.
After that, an idea has been provided with respect to various encryption technologies.
Discussion
Analysis of requirement of Royal Children Hospital (RCH) Data Security
Royal children Hospital (RCH) focuses on dedication to ensuring the patient records
along with sensitive information is incomplete protection3. With increase in the number of
medical staff that travels beyond the extent of main campus along with emergency location.
RCH aims to be very much certain that it can protect all the required data that is stored in their
laptops.

Doctors and Nurses at RCH aim to travel in Melbourne City on regular interval. The
hospital needs to assured about the data of patient that is collected on laptops is completely
secured. On regular basis, RCH doctors and nurses need to travel to Melbourne City on everyday
interval4. RCH needs to assured about the fact that the stored patient data is completely secured
with them. Laptops of Doctors and patient need to carry sensitive information and so they ensure
that lost or stolen data does not provide any kind of unauthorized access to important data.
New Security Plan for RCH
All the current issue in RCH can be easily tackled with the help of proper security plan in
RCH (Royal Children Hospital). The security plans in RCH compromises of four steps that are
Run Risk Assessment: Prior to development of effective security plan, an initial
assessment of risk is done. It is needed for analyzing the assets, system and associated devices of
doctor and nurse that require protection.
Building a Security Culture: At present, security plan and checklist are not enough for
developing a strong posture of security5. Protecting the vital data of the patient should be very
first aspect of healthcare organization.
Reviewing of IT Policies and Procedure: Analysing the security trends and overall
threats can be considered to be very much difficult. Policies should be there for proper protection
of data along with proper control measures of patient information.
Educating employees about security best practices: System hackers mainly look up for
weakest link in the overall security plan and their employees. Hackers can prey on hospital by
sending phishing emails.
