Dropbox: Appropriate Use of Health Information
Assignment 2:
Appropriate Use of Health Information (Paper)
30% of Total Grade
The introduction of the electronic
health record and the use of other information and communication technologies
have provided nurses and other healthcare professionals a more effective way of
maintaining and communicating personal health information. However, this
increased access to information at the point-of-care increases the nurse’s
responsibility to maintain confidentiality of health information. There are
several ways that a nurse using information technology may inadvertently breach
confidentiality. What are the safeguards that need to be in place to support
nurses in the appropriate use of health information? Accordingly, the purpose
of this assignment is to support your critical thinking regarding the
appropriate use and access to a person’s health information.

you are completing a course on nursing informatics asks that you share with her
