Legal and Ethical Issues Associated With Challenges in the Implementation of the Electronic Medical Record System and Its Current Laws in India.
Curēus 2024 March
Electronic health records (EHR) have revolutionized healthcare by providing efficient access to patient information, but their implementation poses various challenges. This paper examines the ethical and legal issues surrounding EHR adoption, particularly focusing on the healthcare landscape in India. Ethical considerations, including patient autonomy, confidentiality, beneficence, and justice, must guide EHR implementation to protect patient rights and privacy. Legal issues such as medical errors, malpractice, data breaches, and billing inaccuracies underscore the importance of robust policies and security measures. Threats to EHRs, such as phishing attacks, malware, encryption vulnerabilities, and insider threats, emphasize the need for comprehensive cybersecurity strategies. Overcoming challenges in EHR implementation requires meticulous planning, financial investment, staff training, and stakeholder support. Despite the complexities involved, the benefits of EHR adoption in improving patient care and operational efficiency justify the efforts required to address legal, ethical, and technical concerns. Embracing EHRs while mitigating associated risks is essential for delivering high-quality healthcare in the digital age.
