Scenario:

The government has created a committee to investigate the potential of implanting a radio-frequency implantable device (RFID or commonly known as a chip) in every U.S. citizen OR on the use of the smart card (i.e. card that incorporates an individuals medical care record). In order to reduce the issues surrounding patient safety including patient identification, and maintenance of a complete and accurate history of disease processes and medications, this RFID or smart card will contain all of the individuals medical information.

When the patient arrives at a point-of-care, the RFID or the smart card is scanned, and all of the information is uploaded into the provider Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Upon discharge, information is then downloaded back to the RFID or the smart card.

You have been invited as a nursing representative for your state to provide a report to the committee regarding the use of the RFID or the smart card. Choose one of these technologies and complete the following information to produce your report.

Introduction:

Create and introduction paragraph describing the topic (RFID or Smartcard), explain what will be addressed in the paper, and evaluate the pros and cons of using implantable devices or the Smartcard.
Create an introduction: Introduce the topic (RFID or Smartcard)
Body of the Paper:

Evaluate the Pros and Cons:
Analyze the pros and cons of the use of the implanted RFID or the Smartcard. To assist you in analysis, explore the US Food and Drug Administration Guidance Document (https://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationSafety/ElectromagneticCompatibilityEMC/ucm116647.htm (Links to an external site.) ) and investigate other sources on the internet or in the current literature. There are companies currently producing chips. Read marketing information found online for companies producing chips for additional background information.
Explain how you use smart devices in your personal life. How has this technology been incorporated in society?
Assess the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications:
What are the potential legal, ethical, and social implications, which should be considered if implementing and using RFID or the Smartcard if it is instituted, in your practice setting?
Identify populations who might greatly benefit from the use of the RFID or the Smartcard? (e.g. people with Alzheimers, children, those with cognitive disabilities, etc.).
Refer to the scenario above. How would the redundancy of information be addressed for the RFID or the Smartcard
Evaluate the Scenario and Discuss a Policy to Incorporate
Identify how your organization could incorporate the use of either of these technologies (RFIDs or other smart devices, such as Smart phone) in the practice setting?
Discuss the logistics. How would a healthcare provider access the information from the patients RFID or the Smartcard?
In thinking of the scenario above, identify the extent that patients can access their own information? Can the user access the exact same information as the healthcare provider?
What types of policies might be needed at your healthcare facility to safeguard patients who have an implanted RFID or the Smartcard?
Conclusion and Recommendation
Draft a conclusion statement which summarizes a possible recommendation for using RFID or Smartcard devices or explain why you feel further consideration of use is not warranted.
Formatting:

Grammar and APA Format
Present your analysis in a scholarly, 4-6 page, APA-formatted paper with the following elements:
Title Page (not included in page count)
Citations throughout
Introduction Catch the readers attention with interesting facts and supporting sources.
Body of analysis:
Present the pros and cons about the RFID or the smart card. Think globally and historically.
Identify the ethical, legal, and social implications of RFID or the Smartcard
Discuss policies to incorporate at your facility to safeguard patients with RFIDs or the Smartcard.
Conclusion and Recommendation Summarize the analysis and offer a recommendation. Is the RFID or the Smartcard a plausible method for the future of health care interoperability and portability of health information?
Reference Page (not included in page count)
