(Information Systems, Web and Pervasive Computing) 1st Edition
by Jérôme Béranger (Author)
The exponential digitization of
medical data has led to a transformation of the practice of medicine.
This change notably raises a new complexity of issues surrounding health
IT. The proper use of these communication tools, such as telemedicine,
e-health, m-health the big medical data, should improve the quality of
monitoring and care of patients for an information system to "human
face".
Faced with these challenges, the author analyses in an
ethical angle the patient-physician relationship, sharing, transmission
and storage of medical information, setting pins to an ethic for the
digitization of medical information. Drawing on good practice
recommendations closely associated with values, this model is developing
tools for reflection and present the keys to understanding the
decision-making issues that reflect both the technological constraints
and the complex nature of human reality in medicine.
