Biochemical Data Security

Meaning

The established protocols and technological safeguards implemented to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive patient information derived from laboratory assays, particularly those measuring hormones and metabolic intermediates. Protecting this data is paramount because its misuse could lead to inappropriate clinical decisions or privacy breaches concerning an individual’s endocrine status. Maintaining security validates the reliability of diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring in endocrinology.
