Orlаndо Centrаl Hоspitаl has been develоping a patient portal for its EMR and you represent the HIM department on the development task force. The issue of portal access by adolescents is under discussion and is a challenging question ethically and technically owing to privacy and confidentiality concerns related to EMRs with adolescent patients experiencing confidentiality issues at virtually every step of the process. After careful consideration, the task force recommends permitting full access only to the 13- to 17-year-old adolescents, with parents able to receive only non-confidential information, an approach requiring actively blocking access to certain information by parents which requires vigilance and ongoing monitoring. Full parental access would be permitted for unusual or complicated situations, such as major diseases, ideally customized with input from the adolescent. You are engaged with the EMR vendor to implement this modification, however, during the work you are notified by the administration that work is to stop on this development and no access will be granted to any adolescent patients—only adult patients 18 and over. You and other members of the task force are deeply disturbed by this recent pronouncement and decide to implement the patient portal. What would you do?
