Ethical Standards I

Ethical Standards I

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

Area of Science:

Health Law
Medical Informatics
Public Health

Background:

Financial identity theft garners significant media coverage.
Medical identity theft, a distinct subtype, remains under-addressed.
Understanding medical identity theft is crucial for patient safety and healthcare integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a preliminary review of medical identity theft.
To differentiate medical identity theft from other forms of identity fraud.
To outline the primary categories of medical identity theft.

Main Methods:

Literature review of existing research and reports on identity theft.
Analysis of reported cases and typologies of medical identity theft.
Categorization of medical identity theft into distinct subtypes.

Main Results:

Medical identity theft is a significant issue with limited public awareness.
Two primary subtypes of medical identity theft were identified.
Subtype 1: Use of a stolen identity to obtain medical services.
Subtype 2: Use of a stolen identity to perpetrate healthcare fraud.

Conclusions:

Medical identity theft poses distinct risks to individuals and the healthcare system.
Further research and public awareness campaigns are needed to combat this threat.
Addressing medical identity theft is essential for maintaining trust in healthcare services.
