The Identified Clinical Issue of Interest
The identified clinical issue is the breaches to confidentiality of patient information confidentiality breaches encompass the security issues that harm the integrity of organizational information.
Data breach occurs anytime malicious people access information without legal permission.
The biggest confidentiality threat is hacking.
Respect for confidentiality of patient information is paramount for healthcare organizations. Confidentiality breaches are greatly observed in healthcare organizations across the world. It can be caused by various incidences including insider threats, stealing of malware, and disclosure of patient information among others.

How to Use Keywords to Search the Published Literature on the Clinical Issues
Identify the main concepts of the research topic.
Use similar terms to the research topic.
Combine the search items using and, and or.
Use phrase searching, truncation, parentheses, and wildcards.
First, using the main concepts in the research topic to search for the keywords will help the researchers to identify a wide array of information that can be useful in the final research. Second, similar terms can be used to represent the concept in a dynamic way. Third, combining phrases with and, and or can help the researchers to find extensive information as the keyword for the research topic. Fourth, making use of wildcards and truncations can improve the search process.

Research Databases for Conducting Your Search for the Peer-Reviewed Articles
Web of Science.
PubMed.
IEEE Xplore.
The Web of Science can be used to provide access to scholarly articles related to the identified clinical issue. PubMed also provides a wide range of academic resources that can be used for literature review for the identified topic. IEEE Xplore can similarly be used to search for journal articles and conference papers that talk about the identified research topic.

Continuation
ScienceDirect.
JSTOR.
Google Scholar.
ScienceDirect is a great gateway to finding millions of peer-reviewed and evidence-based research articles on any possible topic one could search. JSTOR is another great way of searching for online research papers that can be used to find an article that relates to the identified clinical issue. Finally, Google Scholar can be used for the same search as it presents a broad way for finding scholarly articles for any topic.
