Week 5 Discussion
Discussion – Week 5 Nursing and Health Care Informatics Ethics and the Law
"Whatever, in connection with my professional service, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the
life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should
be kept secret."
—Confidentiality excerpt from the Hippocratic Oath (as cited in Croll, 2010)
Traditional schools of medicine have a ritual of reciting oath excerpts such as the one above during their
graduation ceremonies. Such excerpts usually revolve around a professional’s promise to uphold the
ideals of patient safety and confidentiality to the best of his or her ability.
With the continued integration of HIT, and advances in technology such as hand-held computers, new
ethical considerations have evolved within health care settings. For example, wireless capabilities can
provide easier access to information from unauthorized outside parties. While technological advances
have led to improvements in health care, they have also created new vulnerabilities. Doctorally
prepared nurses need to be aware of ethical issues surrounding the use of patient information,
technology, and the respective liabilities.

Technology and Informatics, 151, 167–175.
To prepare:
Reflect on this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the ethical and legal issues associated
with usage of data and health information.
For this Discussion, identify an ethical issue related to data collection or information
management at your organization or one with which you are familiar.
Determine the potential liabilities that this ethical issue presents by reviewing the AMIA Code of
Ethics.
Consider the legal aspects of your ethical issue and the steps that could be taken to avoid or
minimize risk.
By Day 3 post a cohesive response that addresses the following:
Describe your selected ethical issue.
Analyze the potential liabilities that this issue poses to the organization by referencing the AMIA
Code of Ethics.
Formulate strategies that the organization could implement to address the ethical issue.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.
By Day 6 respond to two of your colleagues in one or more of the following ways:
Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, evidence, or
research.
Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to
provide new perspectives.
Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your
own research in the Walden Library.
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.
Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing
multiple postings.
Expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or contrasting perspectives
based on readings and evidence.
Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you
learned and/or any insights you gained as a result of the comments made by your colleagues.
Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and any
additional sources.

In discussions, you, as a student, will interact with your instructor and classmates to explore topics related to the content of this course. You will be graded for the following. 1. Attendance Discussions (graded): Discussions are a critical learning experience in the online classroom. Participation in all discussions is required. 2. Guidelines and Rubric for Discussions PURPOSE: Threaded discussions are designed to promote dialogue between faculty and students, and students and their peers. In the discussions students:
Participation Requirement: You are required to post a minimum of three (3) times in each graded discussion. These three (3) posts must be on a minimum of two (2) separate days. You must respond to the initial discussion question by 11:59 p.m. MT on Wednesday. Participation points: It is expected that you will meet the minimum participation requirement described above. If not:
3. Threaded Discussion Guiding Principles The ideas and beliefs underpinning the threaded discussions (TDs) guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of TDs provides students with opportunities to contribute level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe, caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social interaction. The TD’s ebb and flow is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant scholarship. Participation in the TDs generates opportunities for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. TDs foster the development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines. 4. Participation Guidelines You are required to post a minimum of three (3) times in each graded discussion. These three (3) posts must be on a minimum of two (2) separate days. You must respond to the initial discussion question by 11:59 p.m. MT on Wednesday. Discussions for each week close on Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time (MT). To receive credit for a week’s discussion, students may begin posting no earlier than the Sunday immediately before each week opens. For courses with Week 8 graded discussions, the threads will close on Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. MT. All discussion requirements must be met by that deadline |
