Nursing informatics policy/regulation fact sheet | NURS 6051 – Transforming Nursing and Healthcare Through Technology | Walden University
The policy or regulation I selected is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This legislation was implemented in 2018 with the goal of providing greater data protection for EU citizens by establishing a set of rules governing the collection, use, and storage of personal information. It applies to any organization that collects or processes data from EU individuals regardless of its location so it has had far-reaching implications worldwide.
In terms of system implementation, GDPR compliance requires companies to think carefully about how they store, process, and secure customer data. This involves implementing technical measures such as encryption technologies as well as ensuring there are adequate safeguards in place to protect against unauthorized access or misuse. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in hefty fines so it is essential for businesses to ensure their systems have been properly configured before going live.
