- Secure Transfer: If possible, avoid transferring files using removable media (USB drives). Use secure, encrypted network transfer protocols approved by your institution.
- Centralized Storage: Store video files in a designated, protected location on your hospital network with appropriate access controls.
- Redundant Backups: Maintain multiple backups (e.g., on-site and cloud-based) to safeguard against data loss due to hardware failure or unforeseen events.
- Encryption: Use strong encryption to protect both stored video files and those in transit, especially if they include potentially identifiable patient information.
