Intellectual property issues in the digital health care world.
The digitization of health care information presents a troublesome challenge to the two core principles of copyright: the expression of an idea should be rewarded and protected for a certain period and the user should be allowed the right to fair quotation during that period. The debate about intellectual property in a digital world will be a major focus over the next few years. Nursing administrators need to become copyright savvy to voice their concerns, protect nursing's works, and ensure that health care information is accessible for the public.
