The Role of Information System Management and Quality in Securing Data; EPR as a Case Study

Abstract

The ongoing development nature in the electronic networks and computer industries has helped us enormously to enter, process, save, and transmit data electronically. Yet, information security has always been a very critical issue in the realm of information system management. Information security in the electronic patient records is implicated in information ethical issues. The paper highlights some problems related to data protection, implications of EPR, and the role played by the information management system and quality. Although the solutions to the problem of data security are not merely technical (Von Solms and Von Solms 2004), this paper will shed the light on some technical solutions that help to secure the data in the electronic patient records.
