accountability for data integrity or risk that it may be compromised.
2. Failure to adopt technology or not using it well or as designed can also jeopardize
patient safety. - example might be an APN who continues to use written notes when
automated documentation is the expectation. This deviation might be quicker and easier
initially for the individual provider, but it creates a fragmented patient record, increasing
the likelihood that important information will be lost, and because it is unstructured data,
it is invisible for data analysis.

shaping health policy and social change.
