This past weekend, Linda and I spent time discussing the textbook reviews for the 3rd edition. I thought that the reviewers provided some excellent suggestions. One of the suggestions was to address medical identity theft. Although security breaches are discussed on p. 438 in Chapter 16, the ramifications of the breaches are not detailed. We have included a link to comprehensive information about medical identity theft on the textbook web page http://dlthede.net/Informatics/Informatics.html%20in the section Corrections & Additions. There is now a link to the World Privacy Forum resources on medical identity theft http://www.worldprivacyforum.org/medicalidentitytheft.html%20.
I continue to be amazed and repulsed about the extent of malicous criminal behavior! For example, a Boston psychiatrist who created fictitious medical diagnoses for his patients for billing purposes. The common theme for medical identity theft is personal greed! The perpetrators steal identities in order to obtain money, illegal drugs, or medical treatment. A PowerPoint presentation that provides a comprehensive overview about medical identity theft is available online at http://www.ehcca.com/presentations/HIPAA13/4_02.ppt
This blog serves two main purposes. It includes tips on learning using technology, especially as it supports the 5th edition of the textbook, Informatics & Nursing: Opportunities and Challenges, that I authored. The blog also includes tips about informatics strategies that add to the scholarship of nursing and teaching/learning excellence.
