Book Description

ISBN-10: 0387953086 | ISBN-13: 978-0387953083 | Publication Date: July 10, 2002 | Edition: 1

This book presents 130 case studies illustrating ethical and social issues that arise from the increasing use of computers in medicine, nursing, psychology, pharmacy, and the allied health professions. The rapid development of health informatics offers a rich array of issues and challenges to academics, clinicians, and system developers. These issues involve threats to privacy and confidentiality, misuse of clinical and genetic information, risks to patients of bias and discrimination, erosion of the practitioner-patient relationship, threats to the autonomy of the health professional, and compromises to the quality of care provided. The use of case studies is well known in medicine, nursing, public health, epidemiology, and other health education programs. This book presents selected cases with annotation and commentaries that illustrate ethical concerns and social problems in the use of computers in medicine.

Review

From the reviews:

"‘Ethics and Information Technology’ … a case-based approach to the ethical and social issues of health informatics, with a special focus on online health care and health information in the Internet and the World Wide Web. … A collection of cases … provides ideal study material covering an impressive variety of different facets of health information technology. Several questions guide the reader through the discussion … . An extended appendix with ethical standards for health web sites complements this extremely timely and useful publication." (Georg Marckmann, Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, Vol. 7 (1), 2004)
