There could be several areas in which hospitals can find themselves in trouble -- ethically speaking, again -- when it comes to doctor/patient contact -- i.e., what is appropriate and what is not. Security issues will also become quite important in the future as hospitals and other medical centers adopt greater technology. There are strict HIPAA standards that hospitals must live up to and social media sites and other e-contact could be a violation of these standards. With greater technology comes the likelihood of new types of security breaches, which will mean that the hospital must have a very savvy it department to make sure that there are not any security issues having to do with information leaks, etc.
