Abstract

One of the challenges that healthcare providers have grappled with over time is the issue of interoperability of electronic health record (EHR) systems purchased from a wide array of vendors. This is what led to the development of the Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) by healthcare organizations. But the ability to easily share patient information across different vendor platforms has come with its own issues about the security of the patent data and safety of the concerned patients. This is all what the concern for information privacy (CFIP) literature is about. This study makes use of a model that tests the four facets of the CFIP paradigm. These are unauthorized access, errors, collection, and secondary use. The model also looks at the antecedents of these dimensions and the likelihood of the patient agreeing to their information being shared according to the Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) model. The results of this study carried out in the United States show that the perception of health information sensitivity and anxiety over information technology significantly contribute to privacy concerns and the patients’ reluctance to have their information shared on platforms such as the of the HIEs.Health Information Privacy and Security

Importance of Knowing the Information in the Study (Article)

The importance of knowing this information lays in the fact that all healthcare providers are currently required to have some form of health information system (HIS) on which they capture all their patients’ data. These systems should also preferably be interoperable for ease of access and better patient care (Reisman, 2017; Bhartiya & Mehrotra, 2013). Its application to practice is in the fact that patients have concerns about the security of their clinical information and so the article can help address these concerns (Esmaeilzadeh, 2018). The conclusion is that patient data security concerns should not be ignored.
