Abstract
Many challenges are associated with transforming manual data collection systems into integrated healthcare delivery systems, including those related to the ability to process data securely and protect the privacy of each individual’s record in a distributed healthcare database. Federal laws and regulations mandating security and privacy protections continue to evolve, although at a much slower pace than the technology deployed to collect, process, integrate, and electronically store data Mainframes, personal computers, networks, and telecommunication links are widely used to facilitate the delivery of health care.
