Layman, E. (2003). Health informatics: Ethical issues
Martha provides
Layman (2003) discussed how the recent technologies such as health informatics presents a new ethical challenges. These technologies are designed to increase access, improve quality, and decrease the cost of care. The author pointed out the positive aspects of health informatics such as can bridge distances, improve the quality of care, allow healthcare providers to explore new ways to increase efficacy of diagnosis and therapy. On the other hand, it creates conflicts with ethicals principles of autonomy, fidelity, and justice. The author proposed solutions including regulations, standard and guidelines, honor codes, and code of ethics. I believe that healthcare providers need to be accountable on ethical, moral, and legal responsibilities in order to mantain this technology productive and useful in the patient care.
