e-Ethics. New Dilemmas Emerge Alongside New Technology

Here is my article

Simpson, R.L. (2005). Nursing Admin Quarterly 29(2), 179-182

This article reinforces that nurses are stil ethically bound to protect patient's confidential information. It furthe emphasizes that software programs should supplment a practitioner's knowledge, rather than replace it.

This article reinforces that nurses still have the ethical obligations to uphold patient confidentiality, even in electronic systems. It also emphasizes that software should supplement practitioner's knowledge, and not replace it.

This is truly a dilemma with the advent of EHR. I believe there are many things about the EHR regarding patient confidentiality that were not well-thought out. The article I chose also has to do with the ethics and challenges of confidientiality in the age of electronics.
