Question

Which is an appropriate use of technology in a healthcare field?
Sami, a nurse, tells her husband about a patient’s medical issue.
Juan, a hospital employee, sends a personal e-mail through the work e-mail system.
George, a hospital worker, uses a machine for which he is not trained but has seen used many times.
Tara, a hospital employee, uses a machine for which she is certified.

Answer 1

Tara — she’s certified to use the machine.

The others are inappropriate: Sami’s disclosure breaches patient confidentiality/ privacy rules; Juan’s personal use of the work email can violate workplace/security policies; George is unsafe and could harm patients by using equipment he isn’t trained on.
