Abstract

Healthcare organizationsprocess massive amount of electronic medical records (EMR) utilizedby their employees. Having given privileged access to sensitive and valuable patient information in the EMR, healthcare employees may cause privacy breaches, which may lead to detrimental consequences. Therefore, it is vital to impose particular attention to healthcare employees’ concerns on privacy in the use of EMR. The purpose of this paper is to indicate the results from quantitative analysis (phase 1) through qualitative analysis (phase 2). From phase 1, privacy awareness is the only factor that influences information privacy concerns (IPC) in the use of EMRamong healthcare employees, suggesting that healthcare employees do not think that privacy policy, privacy control, privacy risk, and privacy experience influence their IPC. To investigate why the respondents answered in this manner, the interviewees were asked to clarify why they think privacy awareness is veryimportant to ensure the IPC among healthcare employees. Indeed, the mediating relationship of privacy awareness between privacy policy and IPC were discussed by highlighting on the implementation practices regarding privacy policy enforcement and awareness programs in healthcare organization.

医疗保健员工信息隐私问题的定性分析。

医疗保健组织需要处理员工使用的大量电子医疗记录(EMR)。医疗保健员工获得了访问EMR中敏感和有价值的患者信息的特权，可能会造成隐私泄露，从而导致有害后果。因此，必须特别关注医疗保健员工在使用电子病历时对隐私的关注。本文的目的是通过定性分析(第二阶段)来说明定量分析(第一阶段)的结果。从第一阶段来看，隐私意识是医疗保健员工在使用电子病历时影响信息隐私关注(IPC)的唯一因素，这表明医疗保健员工并不认为隐私政策、隐私控制、隐私风险和隐私体验会影响他们的IPC。为了调查为什么受访者以这种方式回答，受访者被要求澄清为什么他们认为隐私意识对于确保医疗保健员工的IPC非常重要。实际上，通过强调医疗机构中隐私政策执行和意识项目的实施实践，讨论了隐私政策和IPC之间隐私意识的中介关系。
