文摘

eHealth has resulted in a fundamental change in the ethical standing of health information professionals (HIPs) because they have acquired a fiduciary standing towards patients that they did not have before. The2003 IMIA Code of Ethics needs to be revised to take accounts of this fact. Correspondingly, ethical rules for eHealth corporations should be revised to avoid ethical and professional problems for HIPs. A possible solution in terms of accreditation and certification is outlined.
