Abstract

Advanced technology has the potential to improve the quality of care for our patients, but it also poses new challenges, especially in maintaining patient confidentiality. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the newly enacted Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act provide certain guidelines governing patients' medical record confidentiality. This article discusses the other new challenges facing hand surgeons, such as the use of social media, telemedicine, e-mails, and the Internet.

摘要

先进技术有潜力提高我们为患者提供的护理质量，但它也带来了新的挑战，尤其是在维护患者隐私方面。《健康保险流通与责任法案》以及新颁布的《经济和临床健康的健康信息技术法案》提供了一些关于患者病历保密的指导方针。本文讨论了手外科医生面临的其他新挑战，例如社交媒体、远程医疗、电子邮件和互联网的使用。
