The utilization of information and communication technologies in
almost all spheres of modern society has changed the social picture
in significant ways while simultaneously leading to tensions with
regard to traditional ethical and legal practices-particularly
given the global context of its application. Where these
technologies impact on the practice and implementation of
healthcare, it is vital to recognize the extent and nature of the
ethical and social impact both at the level of professional
practice and the patient. Ethical, Legal and Social Issues in
Medical Informatics presents a fundamental compendium of research
on the ethical, social, and legal issues facing the healthcare
industry as it adopts information technologies to provide fast,
efficient, and cost effective healthcare. An essential resource for
every reference library, this comprehensive book offers a
multidisciplinary perspective, drawing from the expertise of a wide
variety of global industries including law, ethics, medicine,
philosophy, and computer science.
