This author clarifies the difference between regulations and ethics using simple terms. For instance, a regulation is a rule that an organization has adopted and must be followed. Ethics is more of a choice rather than a requirement. Ethics in informatics is challenging. Protecting one's priviacy is a rule or requirement in healthcare, however documenting electronically opens the door for potential threats to violating privacy of others. The author shared his concern of easy false or wrong documentation about a person could cause the person to loose their insurance or could cause them to be denied their insurance. Reading this article really made me think about what I read on internet and to not take what I read as the truth and to always keep an open mind.

This is a nice and cursory explanation of the term of ethics. I was once told, ethics are "what you do when no one is looking."
As a PMH-NP student, my interest in ethics centers on the concept of paternalism, and how (by virtue of the population being served) the higher the patient acuity, sometimes the higher the level of paternalism and lower level of autonomy granting.
It makes for an interesting conversation and I think your article points us in the right direction for starting a dialogue by defining terms.
