Maria is the intake nurse in a community hospital. She is very excited because the hospital has recently begun offering a patient portal to allow patients and their doctors to view their medical records electronically. When Maria is checking in a new patient, she explains the new system. She tells the patient that there is a special, one-time passcode for the patient to log into the system. Once they do, they must create their own passcode. She tells them not to show their passcode to anyone. Even though Maria knows there are many advantages to electronic records, what disadvantage does her warning to the patient show?
