Health Information Systems Safeguards

Prior to beginning this discussion, read Chapters 7, 8 and 9 from the Wager, Lee, & Glaser (2017) text and the articles by Callen (2016) and van Laere & Aggestam (2016).
Health information systems face challenges with data input and information output. Concerns with health information systems may vastly impact the accessibility and/or integrity of patient-protected health information (PHI). Health care leaders are continuously concerned about PHI value, quality, security, and efficiency. Meanwhile, technology is advancing in health care at an unsurpassed rate. Some health care organizations are very slow to adapt. Other organizations spend the time and resources ensuring that they remain competitive, measuring the risk versus the benefit of new or improved health information systems.
