Moreover, the sources of laws in the United States provide a great view of security, confidentiality, and privacy of patients’ personal information in a healthcare organization. Managing digital patient information throws unique challenges for nurses in hospital settings. As nurses collect more data daily, their challenges expand by using more mobile and IT devices. This means a better response to this information technology challenge is the right information governance in a hospital setting. For example, healthcare professionals must use strategic management of patient’s information and form policies and laws to ensure healthcare information security, confidentiality, and privacy. Since health information managers in various settings are highly qualified personnel, they should realize their vital role and act like information stewards instead of supervisors. This implies that healthcare managers and administrators must have a good knowledge of informatics laws and follow the guidelines to protect information of patients. 

The bottom line is that the hospital should use nurses with informatics speciality to teach software expertise to other departments and administrators. The computer training they provide other staff can benefit the whole organization to ensure an optimal use of software such as Skype, Microsoft Office, or even the EHR. If nurses already have a good knowledge of IT, they can learn more from nursing informatics to learn more about information sytems and IT vendor management (Antonio, 2019). Finally, healthcare organization must set regulations to limit the use of mobile phones for saving patients’ information due to security issues. Moreover, every online system should be protected to save it from malware and malicious people.
