Implementing access control in epidemiology involves several steps: - Identification: Users must be uniquely identified, often through username and password systems. - Authentication: Verifying the identity of users through methods such as passwords, biometric scans, or two-factor authentication. - Authorization: Granting or denying access based on the user's identity and their role or attributes. - Audit and Monitoring: Regularly monitoring access logs to detect and investigate unauthorized access attempts.
