Health Informatics Ethics
- Health informatics ethics applies ethical principles to health informatics, focusing on healthcare, informatics, and software aspects.
- Autonomy: Allows individuals to make their own decisions; no one individual should hold authority over another.
- Beneficence: Doing good, especially in handling stored health data.
- Non-maleficence: Avoiding harm, especially in protecting data.
