Résumé
Information technology is transforming the practices of medicine, nursing, and biomedical research. Computers can now render diagnoses and prognoses more accurately than humans. The concepts of privacy and confidentiality are evolving as data moves from paper to silicon to clouds. Big data promises financial wealth, as well as riches of information and benefits to science and public health. Online access and mobile apps provide patients with an unprecedented connection to their health and health records.
This transformation is as unsettling as it is exhilarating. This unique new book is essential for anyone who uses computers in health care, biomedical research, or public health, and cares about the ethical issues that arise in their work. With chapters spanning issues from professionalism and quality to mobile health and decision support, it establishes what will become the "core curriculum" in ethics and health informatics, a growing field which encourages truly inter-and multidisciplinary inquiry.
