This speaks to the fundamental condition in the relationship between employer and prospective employee.

As technology evolves, legislation shifts and precedent solidifies, the responsibility rests with the employing firm to remain abreast of the implications of these constant changes.

Nursing Research HIPAA Proposal Patient privacy protection is a cornerstone of any patient bill of rights and is a major goal of any nurse or medical professional.
