We can do it, but dare we?

Below is the scenario you will use to write your week 3  RUA paper We Can But Dare We? The purpose of this paper is to really examine how as healthcare providers, we look more and more to technology to improve patient outcomes, streamline operations, and lower costs. Sometimes, technology can be used in ways that have ethical, moral, and legal considerations too. You will be writing about the use of personal devices and social media and their use in healthcare.

Please review the assignment guidelines for details. 

Scenario:

You are working in a medical center during the COVID-19 pandemic and are experiencing several challenges.

Choose an ending to the scenario, and construct your paper based on those reflections specific to personal devices (smartphones, ipads etc.)  and social media and their use in healthcare. Link those reflections to one of the following outcomes:

1. A HIPAA violation occurs, and client data is exposed to the media.

2. A medication error has harmed a client.

3. A technology downtime that impacts patient care occurs, and an error is made.

4. A ransomware attack has occurred, and the organization must contemplate paying the ransom or lose access to patient data.
