Relación entre ética y confiabilidad del secreto médico en el registro electrónico de datos de salud

Abstract

Objective. This research discussed the relationship between ethics and reliability of medical confidentiality in electronic health records. Theoretical framework. It addresses the relationship between the ethics and the reliability of medical confidentiality in the context of electronic health records. The historical, legal, and conceptual background of medical confidentiality is reviewed. The advantages, challenges, standards, and recommendations for the proper use of electronic health records are analyzed. Some ethical and legal dilemmas are considered, such as data protection, informed consent, reliability, and disclosure. Methodology. It consisted of a systematic review and a bibliographic meta-analysis. Specific databases were used. Data from selected studies were extracted and analyzed, identifying trends, patterns, and critical points on the subject. Results. Ethics in electronic health record research is central, addressing permissions and underlining the importance of transparency. Clarity in this context is essential to ensure ethical and legal practices. Conclusions. This study highlighted that implementing electronic records in prehospital care improved the efficiency and quality of patient care, optimizing resource management and speed in emergencies. It was identified that although the digitization of medical data presents challenges in the protection of privacy, these risks can be mitigated with strict security measures and encryption protocols.
