Security of Personally Identifiable Protected Health Information (PHI)

In your role as director of health informatics, you are visited by a group of patients. They express concerns about a proposed federal law that would require all health organizations to participate in a network database system; this law would allow patients personally identifiable PHI to be included in the network.

Discuss whether you believe your organization should support or challenge this proposed law. Include support for your position. Also include in the discussion what you would tell these patients and what reaction you would expect in response to your position.

Use APA formatting guidelines to properly cite any references used in  your post.
