Safeguarding Health Information and Systems

Instructions as follows:Typically, one’s first thought when discussing ethical considerations is whether patient information is accessed and used appropriately, but this is only one small point for consideration as nurses and nurse leaders. We must acquire knowledge of the ethical issues associated with HIT use. We process that information and knowledge, generate new knowledge, and share what we have learned with others, and hopefully, leave with a new view of why we need to support the adoption and appropriate use of HIT.
What wording would you include in a document that each staff member must sign before being allowed access to the information systems in your workplace (a.k.a. an ethical computing statement)?
References need to be within last 5 years, THIS IS FOR A NURSING ETHICS CLASS
