Validate data from secondary sources to include in the patient's record, including personal health records.
As the Director or Health Information for a large teaching hospital, there are many students completing clinical rotations at your facility.

To make matters worse, a glitch is present in the new patient and physician portals. Patients can enter data into their own records and physicians cannot enter data. In an executive summary, justify your rationale for concern--referencing ethical and legal constructs. Additionally, confirm appropriate use of secondary data within the EHR.
