## Privacy and Security for Healthcare Information

The numerous regulatory and privacy frameworks that govern HLS organizations mandate controlled document distribution. Documents must be controlled and tracked via auditable systems both inside and outside the institutional environment. Medical and scientific computing environments bring exceptional security requirements, with "locked-down" desktop environments that do not permit software installation by end-users. These challenges are unique and require flexible solutions that can work within the larger systems used by HLS organizations.
