1. Describe four ethical issues that arise when storing electronic information about individuals.
2. Compare cybersecurity risks in the U.S. and another country.
When examining ethical issues and applying frameworks to analyze a situation, clinical scenarios often help to ground discussions of problems day-to-day clinical care that commonly occur in healthcare delivery. Perhaps the most troubling ethical issue noted is the potential erosion of the patient-nurse relationship. As the largest group of healthcare professionals who document, more than any other discipline in acute care organizations, nurses are at the forefront to ensure that the EHR is patient-centered and contributes to safe, ethical practice. Healthcare providers have experienced notable challenges to balance necessary time for patient care with computer entry. Healthcare providers have experienced notable challenges to balance necessary time for patient care with computer entry (McBride et al., 2017; World et al., 2016). A false entry into an HER can follow a patient for years. Alert fatigue and clinical information overrides must be addressed within the organization. Overriding content in what is often an undesirable system design can result in misinformation in charting that can have detrimental effects on the nurse, patient, and healthcare organization. Nurses must have a seamless mechanism for reporting EHR challenges. Nurses face time constraints, overstaffing, and unfamiliarity with EHR systems on a daily basis. A significant number of U.S.-based companies have business interests in the U.K. or may be considering future expansion in the region. The cybersecurity risks comparison between the United States and the UK is more breaches occurred in the U.K., but more executives expect attempts in the U.S. Another is U.S companies experienced more business takeover attempts, but criminals were more successful in the U.K. The ransomware threat is more pronounced in the United States at the moment. Cyber insurance is now more extensively leveraged in the U.K. More U.K middle market companies now leverage the cloud for data security. Organizations with U.S. and U.K. operations must understand the nuances of cyber risks abroad and protections that may be underutilized.
