The Computer Ethics Institute (CEI) was founded in 1985 to serve as a forum and resource for identifying, assessing, and responding to ethical issues associated with the advancement of information technologies and to facilitate the recognition of ethics in the development and use of computer technologies. CEI developed the Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics. The eHealth Code of Ethics, developed by Health Informatics Europe (2005), is "to ensure that people worldwide can confidently and with full understanding of known risks realize the potential of the Internet in managing their own health and the health of those in their care." The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 sets the standards on how security and confidentiality of health care information must be maintained. The act also sets the penalties for any breach in security of health care data. The Health on the Net Foundation promotes the use of reliable internet health sites.
