Access Pros and Cons

Imagine that you work at a health care organization that is discussing a major information sharing proposal with other major providers and payers in the region: the development of a regional health network allowing clinicians broad access to patient data with patient permission, of course.

Write a post in which you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of such a regional network. Include in the discussion some of the information security issues that exist with this new way of sharing data. What evidence and/or research can you provide to support your noted security issues?

Use APA formatting guidelines to properly cite the references used in your post.
