In order to refer to the electronic health records and the ways that HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules apply to EHR, one most briefly present an overview of the technology and its implications. As Wager, Lee and Glaser point out (2009), the EHR is the type of medical record about a patient where the information can be shared and, as such, accessible, to medical staff across more than one health care organization (p. 111).
The advantages of EHR translate primarily into better efficiency, increased productivity and cost reduction. The fact that the medical staff can easily access the available information on the patient is equivalent to a decrease in the number of investigations that need to be conducted for the patient. At the same time, however, translating the information on patients from paper to an electronic device means a great economy...
The medical services are likely to be improved because of a professional EHR in place and many concrete examples where this happened in practice, in medical units, come to support this conclusion.
It is obvious, however, that electronic access to patient information creates a potential issue with the security of the elements that are shared between different medical units. If one considers the difference in terms of information sharing between EHR and medical records on paper, the latter are usually locked in a room and available only in certain circumstances. With EHR, there is always the risk that the information could be accessed in the informational system by anybody who would want to commit the necessary resources in this sense.
The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules were conceived exactly to address this kind of potential…

3 million buildings and plots of land. If it can conservatively be assumed that a minimum of five persons are affected for each business and a minimum of two persons for each building, then some 5 million people are directly involved in property-restitution claims - nearly a third of the population of the new Lander. (Blacksell et al., 1996, p. 200) Since December 1991, the number of claims filed with the
This consists of defining the critical business requirements and project success factors that establish an organization's objectives. Once this is defined the organization will be ready to begin the process of evaluating software alternatives and administering the entire selection project. Evaluating software tools without defined business requirements leads to duplicate efforts and ultimately a solution that could delay the selection and implementation process (How to choose software: six steps
Although the research tools provided by the ISO 14001 framework are both qualitative and quantitative, this approach is consistent with the guidance provided by Neuman (2003) who points out that, "Both qualitative and quantitative research use several specific research techniques (e.g., survey, interview, and historical analysis), yet there is much overlap between the type of data and the style of research. Most qualitative-style researchers examine qualitative data and vice
For instance, approximately 33 per cent of Thailand's water sources are categorized as having poor quality and the phenomenon is considered a serious environment problem. Moreover, Thailand is ranked among the last Asian countries based on amounts of fresh water available per capita (WWF, 2010). In this context, the Thai government and the Thai people have commenced to pay more attention to the effect of the environmental problems, as well
4. Transparency, authenticity, and focus are good. Bland is bad. Many people are looking for someone who is in authority to share their ideas, experiences, or suggestions (Bielski, 2007, p. 9). Moreover, just as content analysis of other written and symbolic forms has provided new insights that might have otherwise gone unnoticed, the analysis of blog content may reveal some unexpected findings concerning hot topics and significant social trends that are
