What does AUP mean in HOSPITALS

An Acceptable Use Procedure (AUP) is a set of policies that outlines responsible and appropriate behaviour in the usage of a computer network, Internet or domain. It serves as a guideline for acceptable behaviour and use of technology resources.

All users who access the company's network, Internet or domain should be aware of the AUP policy. It is important that all users are made aware of the rules before accessing any system so they can understand what is acceptable behaviour to ensure compliance.

Violation of any policy outlined in an Acceptable Usage Procedure may lead to serious consequences such as suspension or termination from the organization's systems, depending on severity.
