A number of barriers continue to stand in the way of the widespread adoption by health organizations and consumers. Most consumers are still not aware that they may access specialist knowledge online. Use of electronic communication in medicine, implicates a variety of legal issues, including a physician’s duty of confidentiality, a patient’s right to informed consent, the components of a medical record, customary usage and practice standards, state licensing, and product endorsement. When clinical information systems interfere with traditional practice routines, they are not likely to be accepted by physicians. Hospitals have number of challenges to overcome before it can be integrated into the overall fabric of health care.
So what are the challenges in ensuring patient safety?  Please share your ideas.

Policies and Regulations

idea posted by Bindu Narayan Product Development Manager, Care Biomedicals

Lack of concrete standards for maintaining privacy and confidentiality of medical records is the major challenge hospitals faces these days. They just reveal their confidentiality which is unjust. Moreover, lack of suitable payment mechanisms and credentialing of health care professionals and liability for malpractice hampers the organisation worsely.

knowledge constrains.

idea posted by Kaushik Dutta Product Development Manager, Biocon

I think the major challenge is lack of knowledge. They may not be aware of the availability of online health resources also. Adding on, the inadequate distribution of evaluated outcomes also turns out as a challenge. As far as sharing of expertise knowledge is not done, these challenges continue to embarrass the organization.

Social Challenges

idea posted by Sovan Maiti Product Development Manager, Care Biomedicals

Dehumanized nature of care in virtual environment, variation in culture, illness behavior, language and medical practice, absence of touch as a communication aid and relative anonymity and lack of formality.
