Abstract

This article describes how healthcare and IT are combatting the ethical implications of electronic health records (EHRs) in order to make them adopted by over 90% of small practices. There is a lack of trust in EHRs and uneasiness about what they will accomplish. Furthermore, security concerns have become more prevalent as a result of increased hacker activity. The objective of this article is to analyze these ethical issues in an effort to eliminate them as a hinderance to EHR implementation. As of now, 98% of all hospitals use EHRs. Between 2009 and 2015, the government allocated money and resources for incentive programs to get EHRs into every healthcare providers' office. During this time period, over $800 million dollars facilitated EHR implementation. Using this as a tool EHRs negative perception can be revitalized and combated with the meaningful use program. This article will highlight the ethical implications of EHRs and suggest ways in which to avoid them to make EHRs available in every healthcare provider.
电子健康记录系统的伦理
本文描述了医疗保健和IT如何应对电子健康记录(EHRs)的伦理影响,以使其被90%以上的小型实践所采用。人们对电子病历缺乏信任,对它们能完成什么感到不安。此外,由于黑客活动的增加,安全问题变得更加普遍。本文的目的是分析这些道德问题,以努力消除它们作为电子病历实施的障碍。到目前为止,98%的医院使用电子病历。2009年至2015年间,政府拨款和资源用于激励计划,以使电子病历进入每个医疗保健提供者的办公室。在此期间,超过8亿美元用于促进电子病历的实施。将其作为一种工具,电子病历的负面看法可以通过有意义的使用计划来振兴和对抗。本文将强调电子病历的伦理影响,并提出避免它们的方法,以使每个医疗保健提供者都可以使用电子病历。
