    Telemedicine as a Tool to Bring Clinical Ethics Expertise to Remote Locations.Alexander A. Kon & Melissa Garcia - 2015 - HEC Forum 27 (2):189-199.
    The American Society for Bioethics and Humanities promulgated standards for clinical ethics consultants and is currently developing a national Quality Attestation in Clinical Ethics Consultation to assist facilities in ensuring that those performing clinical ethics consultations meet minimum standards. As the field moves towards such professionalization, there is a need to provide access to qualified clinical ethicists at a broad range of medical facilities. Currently, however, there are insufficient numbers of trained clinical ethicists to staff all healthcare facilities, and many (...)

    Telemedicine: A Proposal for an Ethical Code.Kenneth V. Iserson - 2000 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 9 (3):404-406.
    Telemedicine encompasses medical practice, teaching, and research with real-time interactions over distances too great for unaided communication. It includes audio and video transmissions, either separately or combined, and can be done through mechanical or electronic means. In many ways, telemedicine is a subset of medical informatics, itself a rapidly developing field. Prior definitions have been broader, including not only medical practice over distance, but also simple information transfer.

    Facing Progress with Pragmatism: Telemedicine and Family Medicine.Marc Tunzi - 2023 - Hastings Center Report 53 (4):26-27.
    The singular expertise of family physicians is the ability to manage complexity with pragmatism, both clinically and ethically. Telemedicine raises multiple questions about the nature of the patient‐physician relationship as manifested in clinical encounters. Some of these questions are concerning, underscoring the need to assess whether medical care is better with this new technology—or if it is just different or maybe even worse. It seems clear, however, that, regardless of its limitations, telemedicine is here to stay. The pragmatic (...)

    Home-Based Telemedicine: A Survey of Ethical Issues.Keith A. Bauer - 2001 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 10 (2):137-146.
    In the past decade, digital technology, fiber optics, cellular phones, satellite television, home computers, and the Internet have substantially transformed business, education, and leisure practices. These technologies are becoming so integrated into our daily routines that their ubiquity often goes unnoticed. We are, nonetheless, in the midst of a telecommunications revolution, and the healthcare industry is becoming a major player. The burgeoning field of home-based telemedicine is evidence of this.

    The Moral Value of Telemedicine to the Physician‐Patient Relationship.Benjamin S. Wilfond - 2023 - Hastings Center Report 53 (4):28-29.
    Covid‐19 heralded a natural experiment with telemedicine. My experience as a clinician was very positive, and learning how to use telemedicine has made me a better doctor. Telemedicine has flipped the medical service paradigm; families do not need to conform their busy lives to the medical office workflow. An appointment can be a virtual house call that takes less time for my patient's family and allows me to learn even more about their home. While there are limitations (...)

    Ethical Challenges of Telemedicine and Telehealth.Bonnie Kaplan & Sergio Litewka - 2008 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 17 (4):401-416.
    As healthcare institutions expand and vertically integrate, healthcare delivery is less constrained by geography, nationality, or even by institutional boundaries. As part of this trend, some aspects of the healthcare process are shifted from medical centers back into the home and communities. Telehealth applications intended for health promotion, social services, and other activitiesprovide services outside clinical settings in homes, schools, libraries, and other governmental and community sites. Such developments include health information web sites, on-line support groups, automated telephone counseling, interactive (...)

    The essential role of nurses in supporting physical examination in telemedicine: Insights from an interaction analysis of postsurgical consultations in orthopedics.Maria Cherba, Sylvie Grosjean, Luc Bonneville, Isaac Nahon-Serfaty, Judith Boileau & Richard Waldolf - 2022 - Nursing Inquiry 29 (2):e12452.
    Telemedicine changes clinical practice and introduces new ways of distributing tasks between physicians and nurses, and particularly the delegation of sensory assessments during remote physical examinations. As nurses become more involved in patient assessment and clinical decision‐making, the quality of physician–nurse collaboration has been recognized as essential to ensure quality patient care. However, few studies have examined physician–nurse interactions during teleconsultations. This article presents the results of an empirical study of nurse–physician communication during remote physical examinations. In partnership with (...)

    The ethical and policy implications of e-health and telemedicine: an ageing-focused review.Oonagh Thompson, Giorgos Koumanakos & Karim Hadjri - 2012 - Clinical Ethics 7 (4):147-156.
    E-health and telemedicine programmes and systems offer much potential for supporting the health and wellbeing of older people, and are set to be promoted within the changing health-care landscape. This evolving model of technology-centred health care raises a number of ethical and regulatory issues, such as privacy, data protection, online professional practice, consent, accessibility and risk of confinement. Through this review we sought to analyse the European debate on the ethical and policy implications of e-health and telemedicine by (...)

    Nurses’ perspectives on ethical aspects of telemedicine. A scoping review.Guillerma Medina Martin, Eva de Mingo Fernández & Maria Jiménez Herrera - forthcoming - Nursing Ethics.
    Background Changes in health needs led to an increase in virtual care practices such as telemedicine. Nursing plays an essential role in this practice as it is the key to accessing the healthcare system. It is important that this branch of nursing is developed considering all the ethical aspects of nursing care, and not just the legal concepts of the practice. However, this question has not been widely explored in the literature and it is of crucial relevance in the (...)

    Remote Doctors and Absent Patients: Acting at a Distance in Telemedicine?Tracy Williams, Carl R. May & Maggie Mort - 2003 - Science, Technology and Human Values 28 (2):274-295.
    According to policy makers, telemedicine offers “huge opportunities to improve the quality and accessibility of health services.” It is defined as diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring, with doctors and patients separated by space but mediated through information and communication technologies. This mediation is explored through an ethnography of a U.K. teledermatology clinic. Diagnostic image transfer enables medicine at a distance, as patients are removed from knowledge generation by concentrating their identities into images. Yet that form of identity allows images and (...)

    Ethics, Guidelines, Standards, and Policy: Telemedicine, COVID-19, and Broadening the Ethical Scope.Bonnie Kaplan - 2022 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 31 (1):105-118.
    The coronavirus crisis is causing considerable disruption and anguish. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent explosion of telehealth services also provide an unparalleled opportunity to consider ethical, legal, and social issues beyond immediate needs. Ethicists, informaticians, and others can learn from experience, and evaluate information technology practices and evidence on which to base policy and standards, identify significant values and issues, and revise ethical guidelines. This paper builds on professional organizations’ guidelines and ELSI scholarship to develop emerging concerns illuminated by (...)

    Phronesis as a Practical Principle for the Medical Profession in Telemedicine. 김진경 - 2018 - Journal of the Daedong Philosophical Association 82:63-84.
    원격의료는 대개 의사와 환자가 떨어져 있는 상태에서 이루어지는 의료 행위 내지 환자와 의사 간의 비대면 의료행위를 지칭하며, 정보통신기술을 매개로 하는 것을 의미한다. 최근 원격의료가 활성화됨에 따라 보건의료 체계는 변화하고 있으며, 그 결과 이로 인해 발생하는 다양한 문제에 대한 신중한 논의가 요청되고 있다. 특히 원격의료 상에서는 컴퓨터를 이용한 의료 정보의 처리가 광범위하게 일어나게 되며, 이에 따라 환자의 의료 정보가 잘못 취급됨으로써 개인 정보 유출 및 사생활 침해 등이 심각한 문제로 떠올랐다. 또한 환자의 치료에 있어 환자와 의사의 신뢰 및 공감 형성이 매우 (...)

    Parsa-Parsi et al systematically discuss and elucidate contentious and non-controversial ethical issues that emerged during the ICoME (International Code of Medical Ethics) revision process and the consensus they achieved. The ethical issues discussed include the physician’s duty to act in the best interests of patients and to ensure they are protected from the unjustifiable risk of harm, respect for patient autonomy and the duties of physicians during emergencies, among others. This paper examines paragraph 26, which requires doctors to provide only (...)

    The Moral Difference between Faces & FaceTime.Kyle E. Karches - 2023 - Hastings Center Report 53 (4):16-25.
    Although the technology for telemedicine existed before the Covid‐19 pandemic, the need to provide medical services while minimizing the risk of contagion has encouraged its more widespread use. I argue that, although telemedicine can be useful in certain situations, physicians should not consider it an adequate substitute for the office visit. I first provide a narrative account of the experience of telemedicine. I then draw on philosophical critiques of technology to examine how telemedicine has epistemic and (...)

    Bottom‐up advocacy strategies to abortion access during the COVID‐19 pandemic: Lessons learned towards reproductive justice in Brazil.Helena Borges Martins da Silva Paro, Renata Rodrigues Catani, Rafaela Cordeiro Freire & Gabriela Rondon - 2023 - Developing World Bioethics 23 (2):147-153.
    In Brazil, abortion is only allowed in cases of rape, serious risk to a woman's life or fetal anecephaly. Legal abortion services cover less than 4% of the Brazilian territory and only 1,800 procedures are performed, in average, per year. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, almost half of the already few Brazilian abortion clinics shut down and women had to travel even longer distances, reaching abortion services at later gestational ages. In this paper, we describe three bottom‐up advocacy strategies that emerged (...)

    Telemedicine is a complex field including various applications and target groups. Especially telehealthcare is seen by many as a means to revolutionize medicine. It gives patients the opportunity to take charge of their own health by using self-tracking devices and allows health professionals to treat patients from a distance. To some, this means an empowerment of patient autonomy as well as an improvement in the quality of care. Others state the dangers of depersonalization of medicine and the pathologization of (...)

    The Case for Telemedical Early Medical Abortion in England: Dispelling Adult Safeguarding Concerns.Jordan A. Parsons & Elizabeth Chloe Romanis - 2021 - Health Care Analysis 30 (1):73-96.
    Access to abortion care has been hugely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has prompted several governments to permit the use of telemedicine for fully remote care pathways, thereby ensuring pregnant people are still able to access services. One such government is that of England, where these new care pathways have been publicly scrutinised. Those opposed to telemedical early medical abortion care have raised myriad concerns, though they largely centre on matters of patient safeguarding. It is argued that healthcare (...)

    Although many physicians have been using the internet for both clinical and social purposes for years, recently concerns have been raised regarding blurred boundaries of the profession as a whole. In both the news media and medical literature, physicians have noted there are unanswered questions in these areas, and that professional self-regulation is needed.

    From Feminist Anarchy to Decolonisation: Understanding Abortion Health Activism Before and After the Repeal of the 8th Amendment.Deirdre Niamh Duffy - 2020 - Feminist Review 124 (1):69-85.
    This article analyses abortion health activism (AHA) in the Irish context. AHA is a form of activism focused on enabling abortion access where it is restricted. Historically, AHA has involved facilitating the movement of abortion seekers along ‘abortion trails’ (Rossiter, 2009). Organisations operate transnationally, enabling access to abortion care across borders. Such AHA is a form of feminist anarchism, resisting prohibitions on abortion through direct action. However, AHA work has changed over time. Existing scholarship relates this to advancements in medical (...)

    Telecare, Surveillance, and the Welfare State.Tom Sorell & Heather Draper - 2012 - American Journal of Bioethics 12 (9):36-44.
    In Europe, telecare is the use of remote monitoring technology to enable vulnerable people to live independently in their own homes. The technology includes electronic tags and sensors that transmit information about the user's location and patterns of behavior in the user's home to an external hub, where it can trigger an intervention in an emergency. Telecare users in the United Kingdom sometimes report their unease about being monitored by a ?Big Brother,? and the same kind of electronic tags that (...)

    Despite its effectiveness, limited research has examined the provision of telemental health and how practices may vary according to treatment paradigm. We surveyed 276 community mental health providers registered with a commercial telemedicine platform. Most providers reported primarily offering TMH services to adults with anxiety, depression, and trauma-and stressor-related disorders in individual therapy formats. Approximately 82% of TMH providers reported endorsing the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in their remote practice. The most commonly used in-session and between-session exercises included (...)

    Communication technologies through an etymological lens: looking for a classification, reflections about health, medicine and care.Massimiliano Colucci - 2015 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 18 (4):601-606.
    Information and communication technologies are widely used in healthcare. However, there is not still a unified taxonomy for them. The lack of understanding of this phenomenon implies theoretical and ethical issues. This paper attempts to find out the basis for a classification, starting from a new perspective: the structural elements are obtained from the etymologies of the lexicon commonly used, that is words like telemedicine, telehealth, telecare and telecure. This will promote a better understanding of communication technologies; at the (...)

    Using Information Technology to create global classrooms: benefits and ethical dilemmas.York W. Bradshaw, Johannes Britz, Theo Bothma & Coetzee Bester - 2007 - International Review of Information Ethics 7:09.
    The global digital divide represents one of the most significant examples of international inequality. In North America and Western Europe, nearly 70% of citizens use the Internet on a regular basis, whereas in Africa less than 4% do so. Such inequality impacts business and trade, online education and libraries, telemedicine and health resources, and political information and e-government. In response, a group of educators and community leaders in South Africa and the United States have used various information technologies to (...)

    Ethical issues in the development of tele-ICUs.L. Nesher & A. Jotkowitz - 2011 - Journal of Medical Ethics 37 (11):655-657.
    The past two decades have seen a dramatic increase in the use of telemedicine while the information technology revolution has contributed significantly to its popularity. In addition, there has been a recent increase in the use of telemedicine in the intensive care unit (ICU), partially driven by a critical shortage of intensivists. However, the ethical questions raised by the implementation of tele-ICUs have not been adequately considered. In this essay, we will discuss the development of tele-ICUs from the (...)

    Home-Based Care, Technology, and the Maintenance of Selves.Jennifer A. Parks - 2015 - HEC Forum 27 (2):127-141.
    In this paper, I will argue that there is a deep connection between home-based care, technology, and the self. Providing the means for persons to receive care at home is not merely a kindness that respects their preference to be at home: it is an important means of extending their selfhood and respecting the unique selves that they are. Home-based technologies like telemedicine and robotic care may certainly be useful tools in providing care for persons at home, but they (...)

    AI-Driven Healthcare Optimization in Smart Cities.Eric Garcia - manuscript
    Urbanization poses significant challenges to healthcare systems, including overcrowded hospitals, inequitable access to care, and rising costs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) offer transformative solutions for optimizing healthcare delivery in smart cities. This paper explores how AI-driven predictive analytics, combined with IoT-enabled wearable devices and telemedicine platforms, can enhance patient outcomes, streamline resource allocation, and reduce urban health disparities. By analyzing real-time health data and predicting disease outbreaks, this study demonstrates the potential of AI to (...)

    Medical Confidentiality: Legal and Ethical Aspects in Greece.Stavroulaa Papadodima - 2008 - Bioethics 22 (7):397-405.
    Respect for confidentiality is firmly established in codes of ethics and law. Medical care and the patients' trust depend on the ability of the doctors to maintain confidentiality. Without a guarantee of confidentiality, many patients would want to avoid seeking medical assistance The principle of confidentiality, however, is not absolute and may be overridden by public interests. On some occasions (birth, death, infectious disease) there is a legal obligation on the part of the doctor to disclose but only to the (...)
