Cases
1. HIPAA and the Upcoming Furor over Medical Records
Questions:
1. What are the potential benefits from full implementation of HIPAA from a patient’s perspective and from a health care organization’s perspective?
From a patient’s perspective I think the implementation of HIPPA can provide a convenient way of exchanging their medical data from one hospital to another hospital. And from a health care organization perspective this fully digitize medical records can help a lot in their transactions.
2. What actions could a privacy officer take to be able to certify that a health care organization’s business partners also comply with HIPAA security and privacy rules?
The possible actions that could a privacy officer do is to make an agreement paper that can be use as a proof and assurance that their business partners will obey with the HIPAA security and privacy rules.
3. What do you see as the likely negative effects of HIPAA? How well do you think these effects balance against the benefits?
One possible negative effects of HIPAA is the potential loss of privacy within hospital’s data but if they will going to imply rules against protecting the data it will be a good benefit to them to have a digitize medical records.
2. Echelon- Top Secret Intelligence System
Questions:
1.Are you for or against the use of the Echelon for eavesdropping on electronic communications? Why or why not? Is your opinion affected by the September 11, 2011, terrorist attacks?
We can say that eavesdropping use by Echelon is an illegal act but we should see its advantage effect of using it to one country, this surveillance system is necessary to forewarn authorities and potentially prevent major terrorist activities.
2. Develop a set of plausible conditions under which the directions of Echelon would authorize the use of the system to listen to specific electronic communications.
The director of Echelon needs to be careful in choosing the authorize person who will use the system because from some instances this person can be a spy of other country. The chosen authorize person must also be careful within his task because he was taking charge one of the sensitive tasks.
3.What sort of expanded or new capabilities might Echelon have 10 years from now as information technology continues to improve at a rapid place? What additional privacy might be raised by these new capabilities?
I think the possible new capabilities of Echelon is it can easily be detected those suspicious messages and the system will be enhance to be used in analyzing every languages which will help them inspecting any terrorist attacks.
