Essays on Privacy

This discussion is a review of the protected health information (PHI) regulatory requirement as advanced by the state of Florida, the federal government’s HHS, and the Joint Commission (TJC). I believe that this regulatory measure stemmed out of HIPAA (1996) requirement that facilities restructure their electronic exchange, security, and privacy initiatives concerning PHI. The HHS, therefore, would direct, through Sections 261-264, that hospitals publicize their adherence procedures pertaining these issues. The following is an analysis of these three entities. The state of Florida, through Statute 456.057, advice that hospitals treat PHIs with the respect they deserve. Here, such ...

The products and services provided in hotels, as a rule, are standard, but sometimes depending on the appointment of a hotel (business, rest) they can have specific nature. For me, the hotel is not just the place for a lodging for the night. It is the temporary house. The house in which everything is brought to perfection. And the most pleasant is that this perfection is not created by me. It isn't necessary to clean, bring things to the order. You can relax, you can behave more freely, it is possible to count on an invisible hand which will ...

With recent news documenting massive breaches of patient information, the usefulness of HIT and possible adoption strategies have been largely watered down.

Perhaps one of the most commonly known rights guaranteed by the first ten amendments to the Constitution is the Fourth Amendment’s “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches” (U.S. Const. amend IV). Interestingly, while the meaning of the term “unreasonable” might seem intuitive, the Framers of the Constitution did not provide a specific or detailed definition of it. However, after the Supreme Court; relying on the fact that Article III of the Constitution vested the Court with the judicial power to “all cases” that arise under the “Constitution, ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Video Games and Watching – Essay Plan

One of the most interesting laws created by Congress was the Cyber Security Act of 2015. It was created as part of the Omnibus Appropriations Act signed by President Barack Obama that year. The Act limited government use of collected online information and how information could be shared between different nongovernment organizations and different levels of government. The bill may also have increased government oversight as well, considering the fact that the Department of Homeland Security now has increased access to networks to protect against terrorism and espionage. The Act has a “provider exception” (Kerr, 2015), which allows individual ...

Privacy and safety of personal online accounts has been a hot topic for quite some time already.

What began as simple sharing of Facebook statuses and Twitter updates have given way to public Snapchats and Instagram stories in which we broadcast every little detail of our lives for everyone to see, including our current and future bosses. While this type of technology has the capacity to foster a greater sense of community and can aid in globalization and sharing of cultures, it also facilitates negative behavior that can paint a less than flattering picture of a job candidate. This paper aims to discuss the positive and negative ways social media can be used to influence job ...

New technological advances and devices may make the day-to-day business operations more efficient, but they also present ethical challenges that must be considered and mitigated. Recent media materials suggest that individuals are always aware of some of the new technologies such as cloning, microwave repeater stations, genetic ...

The Hippocratic Oath is a sacred oath taken by all healthcare professionals, one which underscores their responsibility for the privacy of their patients. However, there are circumstances where this privacy must be breached. Even the modernized version of the Hippocratic Oath makes little mention of such circumstances (Tyson, 2001, p. 6). Moreover, such privacy violations can be justified with sound reasoning derived from philosophic theories. In cases of patients who are diagnosed with HIV, the healthcare professional also has a responsibility for public health. According to Thiroux & Krasemann (2015), physicians are charged with the responsibility to inform the spouses ...

I believe the two technological devices chosen were good examples of items that would typically be of interest in any search and seizure procedure where crime could have been committed using electronic devices. Internal hard drives and USB drives are the primary memory banks for saved items on a computer, thus becoming very important if police or work administrators believe wrongdoing was committed using a computer. I agree with the reply stating that a crime scene or area surrounding the electronic equipment in question should be contained to prevent any tampering of evidence.
