Nurs 6051wk6 Module 4 Respopnse To Discussion Healthcare Information Technology Trends

Hello Stephen Persaud,Thank you for your detailed discussion on health technology. Technology has significantly changed the modern health. I agree with your assertion that telemedicine has become an important technological breakthrough in the world. Today, with the emergence of highly infectious Covid-19 pandemic, the use of telemedicine has become prominence. Doctors in many parts of the world are using telemedicine to assess their patients without physical contact (Scott Kruse et al., 2018). I agree with you that a major issue concerning telemedicine is security. We are living in an era prone to cybercrime. Therefore, it is possible for a third party to infiltrate without authorization the communication between a doctor and a patient. That way, the confidentiality of the patient may be compromised, hence the violation of the HIPPA. Security measures must be in place at all times to protect patient’s privacy.Regards!ReferenceScott Kruse, C., Karem, P., Shifflett, K., Vegi, L., Ravi, K., & Brooks, M. (2018).
