Evidence-Based Strategies to Improve the Application of Patient Care Technology

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 mandates national standards to protect patients’ medical information from unauthorized disclosure (Shachar, 2022). Compliance with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules ensures patient consent before data disclosure. Upholding HIPAA principles enhances patient care technology by enhancing health insurance portability and safety standards.

While these technologies offer benefits, challenges such as staff training, data security, and patient privacy considerations must be addressed to ensure ethical and effective utilization.
