Patient confidentiality refers to an individual's right to have their personal and identifiable health information kept private and secure. Advances in technology have allowed health organizations to computerize records but have also created opportunities for accidental breaches of confidentiality. This includes medical records, lab results, diagnoses, medications, demographics, and other personal health information. Those working in healthcare have responsibilities like restricting medical record access, protecting passwords, only accessing records as needed, and logging off computers to ensure patient confidentiality is maintained.

As a hospital administrator, their roles include planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling, and coordinating hospital management functions. The goal of all administrators is to maximize output through productivity and efficiency. Productivity is measured as output over input, and can be increased by boosting output while maintaining or decreasing inputs. Effectiveness means achieving objectives by focusing on outputs and outcomes. Efficiency means achieving objectives with the least amount of resources. Hospital administrators must balance roles related to patients, the hospital organization, and the surrounding community.

Short- and Long-Term Effects of Sharing Personal and Medical Data
1. Introduction
The advancement in technology has led to the production of a large volume of human information for economic and medicinal uses. Information plays a significant part in the identification of social issues and helps effective device solutions to daily problems in human life. Although personal and medical info is essential, there are at times when people who have access to the data misuse it for financial gains. When it comes to data privacy, a lot of controversies exists as most people are unaware of their right to privacy. People use internet services where they input sensitive personal or medical data. Most online platforms such as social media have become a significant source of traffic for advertising consumer products and services.
Most websites use the information which the users enter and optimize the searches on the internet. Search engines such as Google use browser cookies to direct specific ads to some clients depending on the critical works in the history of individual searches. Online targeted adverts seem like exploitation of internet users or a form of manipulating people to buy some products from an online store. The psychology of the ads employs smart algorithms which use human information to identify what someone likes on the internet. It is a form of attracting potential clients or generating substantial traffic to a website. As the online adverts become a social issue, there is a need for awareness concerning the impacts of sharing personal or medical info over the internet. Some people claim that information leakage leads to misuse of human information and hence there is a need to educate individuals on temporary and lasting consequences of sharing personal info.
2. Personal Data
In Europe, personal info means more than human names alone. A simple detail is shown in the identification documents, bills, and other critical documents which reveal the identity of an individual. Information is a broad field of knowledge which helps Europeans to be aware of their cultural identity, internet addresses, and even critical locational data. In Europe and other modern countries with advanced internet infrastructure, an IP address is personal information which is essential for human identification (ICO, 2018). Own names, addresses, and location data identifies are used to keep a human updated with the time of his location since it is provided by the satellites, and hence information plays an essential role in the process of identifying what people who use the internet. Internet service users do love various things which they search on the internet in their life and the intelligence gathered is then applied in designing catchy adverts which generate traffic to people and benefit some individuals.
There is various information which people input in website forms to open accounts on th.
Confidentiality
This document discusses confidentiality in healthcare. It defines confidentiality as limiting sensitive patient information to authorized parties. Breaches of confidentiality occur when information is shared without consent, such as through conversations or electronic files. Laws like HIPAA and organizations like AMA establish privacy regulations. Covered entities must protect patients' non-public information, including medical records, billing details, and conversations. Patients have rights to control access and updates to their health information. However, in some cases like public health risks, medical personnel have a duty to report. The document outlines penalties for privacy violations and best practices to prevent breaches.

1)
Health data is sensitive and confidential; hence, it should be kept safe. Data security is one of the critical activities which has become challenging for many organizations (Frith, 2019). Due to technology advancements, people can save their health data online. Similarly, people are also able to share data with close friends or any other person of interest. Using online platforms to store the data has brought a lot of benefits. The primary benefit is the fact that individuals can share data with medical experts easily. By, this the medical experts will be able to assist the sick people if possible. The data is always accessible as long as one is authorized.
I read different articles that shared information concerning health data breaches. Various health organizations have been affected by data breaches (Garner, 2017). A good example is the University of Washington Medicine. This organization reported that 974,000 patients' data was affected. The attack was noticed by a patient who found some files containing personal information on public sites. The patient then notified the organization, which claimed that some employees made some errors, which led to the leakage. The files were accessible through Google, so the organization had to ask Google to remove the data. Fortunately, the files were removed from the search list, and this occurred in January 2019.
It was risky to let the files containing personal information available on the website (Ronquillo, Erik Winterholler, Cwikla, Szymanski & Levy, 2018). The organization was lucky that the data breach was not significant, and hence, the patients were not significantly affected. It is good to ensure that files containing health data are handled carefully to avoid some problems. In keeping the health data secure, it is good to ensure that the systems are well-protected. The systems can be protected by making use of firewalls which prevent unauthorized people from accessing them. During the data sharing process, a health organization should ensure that the information is encrypted. Encryption prevents unauthorized people from understanding the message that is being shared using different channels. Users should make sure that they use strong passwords.
2)
Protection of patient’s information is the top most priority of health care providers and professionals. Patient’s health information contains personal data and their health conditions hence the federal laws requires to maintain security and privacy to safeguards health information. Privacy, as distinct from confidentiality, is viewed as the right of the individual client or patient to be let alone and to make decisions about how personal information is shared (Brodnik, 2012). Health data is usually stored on paper or electronically, in both these ways it is important to respect the privacy of the patients and hence follow policies to maintain security and privacy rules.

Jwt i health trends report
Technology is changing how medicine is practiced and empowering consumers to take more control of their health. Doctors can now examine patients remotely through telemedicine and use robotic technology in surgery. Patients are also monitoring their own health using devices and participating in online health communities. This transformation may lessen the human touch in healthcare but also make services more convenient and accessible.
