Technology
The Federation of State Medical Boards (2008) identified that rapid advances in technology are permanently changing the face of health care. These changes are having a number of effects on current requirements and future direction and can be considered under the three subthemes: information and communications technologies, education modalities, and treatment modalities. Increased access to information and communications technologies has resulted in rapid progress in the design and implementation of electronic patient records and has brought a need to revisit and strengthen the code of conduct regarding data confidentiality and ethical behaviors associated with records that can now be accessed from multiple locations (Med-Emerg Inc., 2005). Linked with the issues of data access, confidentiality, and ethical behaviors is the proliferation of social networking media, where nurses have sometimes deliberately and sometimes inadvertently divulged information about their patients. Also, through media such as Facebook and Twitter, some nurses have entered into relationships with patients that have resulted in
breeches of professional boundaries (Benton, 2011).
With increased access to information, members of the public research their conditions and are better able to manage them and to challenge services they believe do not comply with best practices, though questions about the accuracy of such information have been raised.
