The National Care Record Service - an ethical system?

Viac o knihe

The National Care Record Service (NCRS) represents a significant shift in how health information is managed in England, raising ethical concerns regarding consent and data privacy. The reliance on implied consent is scrutinized, as it may not adequately protect individual autonomy in an increasingly interconnected healthcare environment. The tension between respecting personal rights and the potential benefits of shared health data for public health is a central theme. Ultimately, the analysis concludes that the NCRS is currently deemed ethically unacceptable.
