Abstract

This paper gave attention to two issues that arise because of the growth in the use of health data by general practitioners (GPs) and general practices in England. The issues were (a) the use and commercialisation of patients’ personal health data; and(b) the propensity of GPs and general practice staff, in utilising those data, to see patients as fragmented bodies rather than as ‘whole persons’. The paper included attention to the computing needs of general practice from the 1960s and notes the period of growth in GP computer use during the 1990s. The implications of recent increased computer use by GPs and general practices, as a contributor to the further scientification of health, were then explored. Significant is the fact that the paper finds consciousness, from the 1970s, of the two issues. Their importance was emphasised as the momentum increases around the utilisation and sharing of patient data. Related concerns about data privacy and confidentiality are highlighted. In this context, the paper recommended that further research be undertaken with urgency to explore the ways that caring relationships (that have been a hallmark of the work of GPs) can be safeguarded.
计算,数据,和全科医生的角色和一般做法在英国
本文提出了两个问题,因为在使用健康数据的增长由全科医生(全科医生)和一般做法在英格兰。这些问题是(a)患者个人健康数据的使用和商业化;(b)全科医生和全科医生在使用这些数据时,倾向于将患者视为支离破碎的身体,而不是“完整的人”。这篇论文包括了对20世纪60年代一般实践的计算需求的关注,并注意到20世纪90年代GP计算机使用的增长时期。然后探讨了最近全科医生和普通医生越来越多地使用计算机对健康进一步科学化的影响。重要的是,这篇论文发现,从20世纪70年代开始,人们就意识到了这两个问题。随着患者数据的利用和共享势头的增加,它们的重要性得到了强调。强调了对数据隐私和机密性的相关关切。在此背景下,该论文建议进一步的研究应尽快进行,以探索如何保护关爱关系(这是全科医生工作的一个标志)。
