System Recommendation Report (SRR), Section III – Ethical, Legal and Regulatory Policy Issues
Section III of the System Recommendation Report (SRR) analyzes the ethical, legal, and regulatory policy
issues that influence the selection of an EHR system and how it is used. For this assignment, you will
identify the ethical, legal and regulatory policy issues related to health care information systems, explain
the impact of the ethical, legal and regulatory policy issues on the selection and use of health care
information systems, and describe how the ethical, legal and regulatory policy issues can be addressed
in the development and use of EHR systems. This analysis leads into Section IV – System
Recommendation section of the SRR (the Stage 4 assignment) that will propose an EHR solution to meet
the Midtown Family Clinic’s organizational strategy and fulfill its operational needs.
Below are a list of course resources and an example to assist you in completing Section III of the Report.
Course Resources: The table below provides the sources for the definitions and explanations of the
topics. You should use other resources as well, but be sure they apply to health care information
technology implementations.

Example: An example for a topic entry is provided below.
Example from another industry: For example, for a fitness center that is adopting a new
technology solution involving a kiosk for customers to use to pay for their membership at the gym,
then for the Area of Accessibility, the following might be entered. Note the thorough explanation.
Topic
Accessibility
Definition of Topic
Accessibility is the degree
to which a product, device,
service, or environment is
available to as many people
as possible. This includes
accessibility to people with
various impairments such as:
cognitive, visual, hearing and
/or dexterity issues.
How it impacts and will be addressed in
the selection and use of a system
Since the customers will use the kiosk to pay
their membership fees, it must be accessible to
everyone, including those with some disabilities.
The system will be required to give instructions
in both written and audible forms. The system
provides audio instructions and other tools for
people with disabilities. As part of the
implementation, these capabilities will be tested
and front desk personnel will be trained to assist
customers if needed.

Stage 3 Assignment Instructions
The first step is to incorporate the feedback you received on your Stage 2 assignment, making any
needed corrections or adjustments. If you have not incorporated the feedback from your Stage 1
assignment, you should do so prior to submitting Stage 3. For this assignment, you will add Section III to
Sections I and II of the System Recommendation Report (SRR).
Using the case study, the overview above, Course Content readings, and external resources, develop
your Section III on ethical, legal and regulatory policy issues. Approximate lengths for each section are
provided as a guideline; be sure to provide all pertinent information. Apply specific information from
the case study to address each area listed below.
III.
A.
Ethical, Legal and Regulatory Policy Issues
Introduction – Introduction to this section describing what is included. (3-4 sentences)
B. Table of Ethical, Legal and Regulatory Policy Issues – The table below lists 20 topics related to
ethical, legal and regulatory policy issues for healthcare IT systems. Each of these is defined in the
course materials; the table above provides the sources where the definitions and explanations can
be located. (Provide an introductory sentence and copy the table and insert information within.)
For each topic, you will provide:
• a brief definition, a minimum of two sentences, in your own words
• a brief explanation, a minimum of two sentences, of the impact of the topic or issue on the
selection and use of the EHR system; and
• a brief explanation, a minimum of two sentences, of how the topic or issue will be addressed
in the development and use of the EHR system.
DO NOT copy the definitions from the class resources or other sources, but use your own words
and provide enough information to demonstrate your understanding of each topic.
The “right” and “wrong” answers have to do with whether or not you correctly define each issue as
it relates to an EHR technology solution and provide a well-supported explanation for how it will be
accommodated. Your responses will be evaluated on whether they are applicable to an EHR
solution, appropriately defined, adequately explained, and are appropriate to the Midtown Family
Clinic.

C. Addressing the Most Difficult Issue – Consider each of the 20 issues listed and choose the one
that you believe will be the most difficult for the Midtown Family Clinic to implement. Explain why
you selected the issue and what should be done to ensure it is properly addressed when the system
is selected, implemented and used. Your response will be assessed on its applicability to the Case
Study and how well you support your choice and explain what should be done. (A paragraph of five
to six sentences.)
D. Summary – briefly summarize the content of this section and tie the information together for the
reader. (3-4 sentences)
Formatting Your Assignment
For academic writing, the writer is expected to write in the third person. In third person, the writer
avoids the pronouns I, we, my, you, your, and ours. The third person is used to make the writing more
objective by taking the individual, the “self,” out of the writing. This method is very helpful for academic
writing, a form in which facts, not opinion, drive the tone of the text. Writing in the third person allows
the writer to come across as unbiased and thus more informed. The Report is to be written for the
Midtown Family Clinic, and reference should not be made by name to individuals who own or work in
the Clinic.

Sharing Data A. Introduction B. Need to Share Data C. Types of Data to be shared D. Data Interchange Standards E. Summary A. Introduction Safe sharing of healthcare data has the potential of significantly benefiting healthcare organizations. For instance, sharing of patient data may help healthcare providers in reducing the rates of readmission, avoiding medical errors as well as decreasing repeated testing. However, healthcare facilities should consider all the regulations and policies when it comes to sharing any information. B. Need to Share Data Considering Midtown Family Clinic case study analysis, there are quite some organizations that the center communicates with including laboratories, other healthcare facilities, insurance companies, just to name but a few. However, this discussion focuses on the major two organizations that Midtown Family Clinic communicates with on a regular basis and which are Midtown Insurance Agency and Midtown Nursing Home. Midtown Family Clinic works together with this organization purposed to deliver effective and reliable patient care services. External Organization #1: Midtown Insurance Agency The first organization that Dr. Thomson’s clinic communicates with on a regular basis is the Midtown Insurance Agency which deals with more than half of the health insurance covers in the area. Most of the patients in Midtown seek insurance services from this agency, and as such regular communication and sharing of data with Midtown, Family Clinic plays a significant role in the operation of the clinic. This is so because the clinic relies on the services of this company in receiving payments for patients who have a health insurance cover with MIA. As such, for the insurance company to make payments to the clinic it has to get the necessary information regarding the patient from the clinic. External Organization #1: Midtown Nursing Home Dr. Thomson also maintains regular communication with the Midtown Nursing Home which happens to be the closest healthcare facility to Midtown Family Clinic (Aspden et al…., 2008). There are some cases or diseases that Dr. Thomson may not be able to handle (such as cases requiring major surgeries), and thus he refers such patients to the nearest facility for specialized services which in this case is the Midtown Nursing Home. Besides, he may not be present at times, and the two nurses he has employed may not be able to handle cases that require the services of a professional doctor. In such cases, the nurses also refer the patient to the Midtown Nursing Home. During such processes, the Midtown Family Clinic is required and must submit the information it has about the patient which may include previous medical records to the Midtown Nursing Home. C. Types of Data to be Shared (i) Patient demographics The patient’s demographics include the name, date of birth, gender, address, as well as the unique patient identifier. These details are used in statistical analysis. As such, maintaining this data is very important for correct billing and in providing an opportunity to gauge the practice performance outcomes in terms of demographic g ...
