Hospitals have become increasingly aware that electronic medical records (EMR) may bring about tangible/intangible benefits to managing institutions, including reduced medical errors, improved quality-of-care, curtailed costs, and allowed access to patient information by healthcare professionals regardless of limitations. However, increased dependence on EMR has led to a corresponding increase in the influence of EMR breaches. Such incursions, which have been significantly facilitated by the introduction of mobile devices for accessing EMR, may induce tangible/intangible damage to both hospitals and concerned individuals. The purpose of this study was to explore factors which may tend to inhibit nurses' intentions to violate privacy policy concerning EMR based upon the deterrence theory perspective. Utilizing survey methodology, 262 responses were analyzed via structural equation modeling. Results revealed that punishment certainty, detection certainty, and subjective norm would most certainly and significantly reduce nurses' intentions to violate established EMR privacy policy. With these findings, recommendations for health administrators in planning and designing effective strategies which may potentially inhibit nurses from violating EMR privacy policy are discussed.

Precision, or personalised medicine has advanced requirements for medical data management systems (MedDMSs). MedDMS for precision medicine should be able to process hundreds of parameters from multiple sites, be adaptable while remaining in sync at multiple locations, real-time syncing to analytics and be compliant with international privacy legislation. This paper describes the LogiqSuite software solution, aimed to support a precision medicine solution at the patient care (LogiqCare), research (LogiqScience) and data science (LogiqAnalytics) level.

With Medicare enrollment reaching over 65 million beneficiaries in 2023, and Alzheimer's becoming one of the most expensive conditions - CMS policy makers have a growing responsibility to improve care quality at end-of-life.
Method: The federal government will be called upon to assist providers in navigating documents and legal variations of approved forms of directives among the different states, and in ensuring privacy standards that keep an individual's health data secure.
Background: One out of four older adults with cognitive impairment in the United States are estimated to live alone, about 4.3 million racially and ethnically diverse individuals. Because living alone often signals limited social supports and a desire for privacy and independence, older adults living alone with cognitive impairment are at elevated risk for social isolation, which is a risk factor for adverse events.

Background: "Digital health" is a broad term that encompasses a heterogeneous set of scientific concepts and technologies. While digital health tools have the potential to contribute to better health and health care for individuals and communities, they also pose ethical challenges - particularly in the context of Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). There is no single established ethical framework, however, to aid individuals in evaluating the ethical dimensions of digital health tools in the context of AD/ADRD.
