American Medical Association (AMA) is a governing body of health professions. It provides information regarding traditional legal issues and ethics that are important in the patient-physician relationship. The AMA Code of Medical ethics must be adhered to by health care providers in line with the profession in order to maintain confidentiality and privacy of client health information obtained in the course of providing care to the patient. Medical laws and ethics work hand in hand to ensure that health professions maintain boundaries in provisions of services to their clients, thereby building relationships based on trust; this is achieved by protecting clients’ rights around confidentiality and privacy of their medical information—patience-physician relationship issues provided as general information about traditional legal issues inherent in the provision of health care. Many of the legal issues incorporated in medical ethics stem from physicians’ obligations to patients.

Any other person or organization that will need access to the computerized record databases should be well-identified in advance before approval. Disclosing full information to the patients is very important as it helps in obtaining informed consent to treatment. Patient’s medical data should be guarded appropriately in order to be able to control the people who get access to the information (Manning 1998). Medical ethics provide that patient Information stored in the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) should be well safeguarded. Any online interactions between the patient and his physician should only be conducted over a secure network able to provide privacy and security measures such as encryption able to maintain record confidentiality and privacy at all times.
