Abstract

In a modern healthcare system that is increasingly reliant on utilizing information, both health information and the management of health information have become heavily examined topics. Should patients or healthcare professionals serve as the main owner of that electronic information? In the United States, this nation is growing towards a full "electronic world," and management of health information is a "necessity." Patient privacy needs to serve as a guiding ethic with respect to health information management, which is why legal and ethical considerations are examined in this component of the paper. All responses indicate: Patients own data; healthcare professionals own data; or both (healthcare professionals and patients).
