We don't want people just immediately googling every patient that they have seen or are about to see. I think it's not a question of if physicians are going to be interacting with social networking sites and search engines, and more a question of you know how we're going to do it and can we do this in a way which is thoughtful and proactive.
In a world where technology is entwined with nearly every aspect of our lives, how should medical professionals navigate the ethical minefield of using the internet in their practice? This episode of 'One Hour AT A Time' brings Dr. David Brendel to the mic to unpack this complex issue with host Mary Woods. Dr. Brendel, who has written extensively on the subject, dives into the murky waters of patient-targeted googling and the fine line between informed consent and patient privacy.
Is it ever appropriate for a clinician to search for a patient's information online? And if so, under what circumstances? The conversation doesn't stop there. Dr. Brendel also explores the implications of maintaining an online reputation and the potential pitfalls that come with it. With the rise of telemedicine, the episode delves into the pressing need for standards and guidelines to ensure that the benefits of internet technologies do not come at the cost of patient confidentiality.
From potential lawsuits to privacy violations, the risks are real, and clinicians must tread carefully. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare. Whether you're a medical professional grappling with these issues or simply curious about the ethical challenges in modern medicine, Dr. Brendel's insights offer a thoughtful perspective on balancing innovation with integrity.
