Multiple pieces of literature highlight that the important ethical concerns to consider as countries move towards electronic health records include privacy implementation, legitimate applications of PCEHR, beneficiaries and sponsors and equity issues emerging in the context of individual control. As a result, many scholars have identified particular questions that need solutions. Solomonides and Mackey (2015) have also tackled the emerging ethical challenges in digital information.

They contend that regarding the most basic form of misleading domains, providers of healthcare express a crucial argument favoring some level of content monitoring and oversight. Riso et al. (2017) have also addressed sharing of health information in different online platforms. Specifically, their research tackled the values that need consideration when sharing health data online. Extensive and increased data storage and production are features of modern western societies. Sharing of health information has increased with the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms aimed at gathering genomic and individual health data (Riso et al., 2017). The private and sensitive nature of health information correlates with ethical concerns when information is shared or disclosed for any reasons, for instance, scientific research. By outlining the different constraints such as the development and architecture of patient-focused infrastructure and health data frameworks, various studies have managed to examine the meaning of online information sharing. Specifically, the study done by Riso et al. (2017) is critical to this research because it offers a debate on ideas that can be applied for safer sharing of patient health records ethically to safeguard the security and safety of the entire
