Telemedicine/E-health and the Soul of Medical Practice by Eileen E Morrison* in Crimson Publishers: Trends in Telemedicine & E-health
Telemedicine, E health and other technologies promise change that can profoundly affect patients and providers. Even a quick scan of topics featured in this journal demonstrates its impact on quality of life, public health concerns, and effectiveness healthcare. However, this powerful area of health care also creates serious issues for patients and providers. This writer is particularly interested in ethics issues that affect the soul of health care.
It is important to consider both patients and providers in this discussion. While it is true that patients come first, serving patients requires an effective, well regulated, and profitable system. From the business side, one hears-no money no care. How do differing views affect ethics as it relates to ethical practices for health technologies? First, consider the patient’s experience. Patients learn about the miracles of health technology from medical shows, Internet sites and friends. When they face their own health crisis, there can be pain, disability, fear, and the threat of death. They want action now! In these situations, the best possible treatment is primary. Patients do not consider cost, insurance coverage or lack thereof. In their emotional situation, they depend on the ethics those who treat them and in the quality of the facility.
