IFSM Information Systems in Health Care Organizations Discussion #1 for Week 5

Topic: Identify the ethical, legal and regulatory policy issues related to health care information systems.

Last week’s readings covered ethical, legal and regulatory policy issues related to health care information systems. As you work on your Stage 3 assignment, you will provide definitions for a list of these issues and policies, and explain their impact on the implementation and use of health care IT systems.

GROUP 1: Review the list of 20 ethical, legal and regulatory topics in the Stage 3 assignment. Select one (preferably different from others previously chosen, but this is not required) and:

Put the topic in the Subject line of your posting
Discuss an event in your life that relates to that topic
What it meant to you
What suggestions you have for improving the outcome or ensuring that others benefit if it was a positive outcome.
GROUPS 2, 3 and 4: For at least two postings, respond by discussing your own experience with that topic and your suggestion(s) for improving the outcome or ensuring that others benefit if it was a positive outcome.
