- Summary:
- Telematics offers a totally new scope for handling knowledge in the speed of its acquisition, learning, transference and communication. Healthcare professionals may be misled and the patient may be treated incorrectly. Secure and reliable information is a must in healthcare. The protection of the patient's privacy is another security objective. Intensive national data protection regulations are today guiding professional work, but long before data protection came into the focus of public concern, ethical and professional demands already controlled the disclosure of patient data. The issues presented in this book are critical because telematics technology is now being used throughout the health care system for dealing with very sensitve data. More and more computers and systems are interconnected, they are increasingly interoperable. Yet the primary demands are that they are correct, not corrupted, relevant, complete, and accesible only to authorised persons. This raises technological and legal, regulatory, and ethical issues that are dealt with in a national context, but also at the Community level in the form of proposals for EU directives on data protection and concerning the protection of personal data and privacy in the context of digital telecommunications networks.
