Patient Data Protection

Access Control: Only authorized clinic staff can access patient data based on role-based permissions. Multi-factor authentication required for sensitive operations.

Encryption: Patient PHI encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Encryption keys managed by AWS Key Management Service (KMS).

Data Isolation: Clinics are logically isolated; patients from one clinic cannot access another clinic's data.

Audit Trails: All data access logged with patient name, clinic staff member, timestamp, and action performed.

Retention: Data retained per regulatory requirements (typically 6-7 years). Secure deletion after retention period expires.
