Modern medicine is facing a complex environment, not from medical technology but rather government regulations and information vulnerability. HIPPA is the governments attempt to protect patients information yet this only addresses traditional record handling. The main threat is from the evolving security issues. Many medical offices and facilities have multiple areas of information security concerns. Physical security is often weak, office personnel are not always aware of security needs and application security and transmission protocols are not consistently maintained. Health insurance needs and general financial opportunity has created an emerging market in medical identity theft. Medical offices have the perfect storm of information collection, personal, credit, banking, health, and insurance. Thieves have realized that medical facilities have as much economic value as banks and the security is much easier to crack. Mostly committed by insiders, medical identity theft is a well-hidden information crime. In spite of its covert nature, the catastrophic ramification to the victims is overt. This information crime involves stealing patients records to impersonate the patients in an effort of obtaining health care services or claiming Medicare on the patients behalf. Unlike financial identity theft, there is a lack of recourse for the victims to recover from damages. Medical identity theft undermines the quality of health care information systems and enervates the information security of electronic patient record.Ethical Implications Of Electronic Health Records

Introduction
Health Information Technology (HIT) involves the use of a digital format to store, distribute, and analyze health information. HIT is used between doctor-patient communications to improve the patients care. The IT professionals working in the HIT are involved in the technical side of managing health information using software and hardware to manage patients data. The professionals provide support to the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) management and other professionals to ascertain accurate dissemination of medical records adhering to HIPAA and HITECH rules and regulations (McInnes, 2016).
Health and financial benefits of implementing EHR
Improved health care and convenience

EHR is an electronic or digital format concept of an individual s past and present medical history. It is the principle storage place for data and information about the health care services provided to an individual patient. It is maintained by a provider over time and capable of being shared across different healthcare settings by network connected information systems. Such records may include key administrative and clinical data relevant to that persons care under a particular provider. Examples of such records may include: demographics, physician notes, problems or injuries, medications and allergies, vital...show more content...But with the benefits there are also the risk factors. Some disadvantages of the EHR system would include; initial cost of planning and implementing an EHR system, lack of standardization across the healthcare setting, unauthorized access to patient information (security and privacy), inaccurate patient information if not updated properly, technical downtimes, potential negligence for data loss and possible patient access to conditions that they don t comprehend which may panic them. Although the EHR is still in a transitional state, this major shift that electronic medical records are taking is bringing many concerns to the table. Two concerns at the top of the list are privacy and standardization issues. In 1996, U.S. Congress enacted a non for profit organization called Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This law establishes national standards for privacy and security of heConfidentiality Of Health Information Essays

The document discusses confidentiality of patient health information in electronic medical records. It notes that while computers are important for storing medical records, facilities must maintain control over the information and avoid unauthorized access. The AMA code of ethics states that any changes to records should be time-stamped and the person making changes identified. Patients should also be advised about computer databases storing their medical information and informed before any release of health information. Procedures for purging outdated data from electronic records should also be established to protect patient privacy and confidentiality.NURS FPX 5005 Assessment 4 Patient Care Technology.docx

The electronic health record (EHR) is the digital version of a patient's paper medical chart. It contains the patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results. EHRs allow multiple providers to access a patient's complete medical data electronically, improving care coordination and preventing medical errors. However, some physicians have complained that EHRs can be time-consuming and interfere with patient care due to poor usability and excessive alerts. Proper implementation of EHRs through project management is important for a successful transition to digital medical records.Health information system security
