Optometry Practice Security FAQ

Yes. Network-connected diagnostic devices are often overlooked security risks. Many run outdated operating systems, have default passwords, and connect directly to your practice network. If compromised, they can serve as entry points for attackers to reach your patient records and EHR. We assess and secure these devices as part of your protection plan.

If your optical dispensary handles patient prescriptions, insurance information, or health records (which it does if integrated with your clinical EHR), then yes — it falls under HIPAA. Point-of-sale systems that store patient data, dispensary management software, and frame ordering systems all need appropriate security controls.

Your cloud EHR vendor secures their platform, but you are responsible for securing everything on your end: workstation security, user access controls, password policies, staff training, and the network connections between your office and the cloud. A signed BAA with your vendor is required but does not make your practice HIPAA compliant on its own.
