The use of handheld devices and electronic messaging has increased collaboration among physicians and
healthcare staff. However, are patient privacy rights at risk for a violation when these devices are used? Are
regulations, laws, and security standards in place to truly secure personal health information? Why or why not?
Compose a paper addressing this situation.
Your paper should be 1–1.5 pages in length (excluding the title page and reference page).
Include references to at least two peer-reviewed journal articles in your paper in addition to citing the course
etext (3 sources total).
Use APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Your source(s) should be integrated into the
paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting your ideas.
Be sure to allow time for proofreading and editing. Budget your time to take advantage of Tutor.com services.
