IMPLANTING AN ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD CHIP INTO U.S. CITIZENS
The purpose assignment investigate safeguards apply ethical principles health care technology.
Imagine having all your medical records with you at all times, thus reducing the issues that arise of patient safety and identification when one visits a health facility. With the use of an Electronic Health Record (EHR), this would become a reality for every U.S. Citizen. The EHR is a collection of a patient's health information that is acquired over several visits to a health facility. It has all the patients' progress notes, medications, problems, laboratory data, past medical history and radiology reports. For this to be achieved, one would need to be implanted with a chip or a Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) that would contain their health information. When one visits a health facility, the health care providers would scan the chip and all the patient's health information would be uploaded into the hospital systems Taghaboni-Dutta & Velthouse, 2006.
EHR's are designed to share a patient's health information with other health providers securely, thus ensuring there is open communication and better involvement in regards to the patient.
The RFID chips are recommended for a select group people, they include person's with Alzheimer's disease as they may not recall their health details, people with diabetes this group is mostly in case they have an emergency so that the health providers...
With the use of the Electronic Health Record chips, the providers can gain access to the patient's health information records, and they would be able to notice any allergies that the patient has, and any medications prescribed to the patient Peslak, 2005()
The chips would hold vital information like whom the authorities should call when the patient has an emergency, this would save relatives the hurdle of searching for their loved ones if they are hospitalized without their knowledge. A patient's blood type is very important especially during an emergency as the healthcare providers would get this information direct from the EHR chip, blood transfusion can be commenced immediately if the patient has suffered from too much blood loss and there won't be any risk of blood group mismatch. Currently the chip contains only an identification number which is what is used when accessing the person's personal information that is stored in a separate database, this makes the chip very secure as…

Government Created a Committee An electronic health record is a digital record of a patient's health information generated from every medical visit a patient makes. This information includes the patient's medical history, demographics, known drug allergies, progress notes, follow up visits, medications, vital signs, immunizations, laboratory data and radiological reports. The EHR automates and streamlines a clinician's workflow. (Himss, 2009) Due to the multiple advantages of an EHR, health care agencies have

Government-Mandated Chip Implantation in Citizens: Technological Breakthrough or Privacy Disaster? In a world in which new technology turns over nearly every day, individuals around the world, and particularly in the United States, continually jump at the chance to integrate these new technologies into their own lives. Generally, we as Americans view technology as a convenience, created to make our lives easier. From
History of Surgery had been started from the prehistoric time with its appropriate technique and tools applicable during the age. There was no sophisticated care of hygiene and anatomic knowledge in the early days; the basic research was started using trial and error on every case and it had set a very strong basic which still makes sense and counts into modern practice. The following summary of history of surgery
These chips store two numbers one to represent the product ID (same with the information that bar codes used) and one to represent the unique tag ID. While this store has claimed in its brochures that deactivated kiosk located at store exists overwritten and could be read days later and hundreds of kilometers away from the store with an inexpensive RFID reader purchased over the Internet. Furthermore, payback cards
