Curtin, L.L. (2005). Ethics in informatics: The intersection of nursing, ethics, and information technology

Curtin (2005) gave a very detailed explanation of the ways nursing, ethics, and information technology intersect. She cautioned that the revolution of informatics in healthcare gives tremedous power to anyone with access to a computer. There is ample opportunity for one to be careless, reckless, foolish, and even the gives one the ability to do harm such as the stealing of healthcare information or identities. The author stressed it was of the utmost importance that we as healthcare professionals be held accountable by strict, moral, legal, and ethical values.
