B. BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES
OF TECHNOLOGY
1. Healthcare Organizations
The expense of technology is one of the most significant difficulties for
enterprises in terms of installation and subsequent upkeep.
The inability to precisely measure intangible patient and cost advantages
makes valuing and justifying capital spending on new technologies
problematic. When compared to broad deployments, remote monitoring
may be viewed as a compromise.
Proponents say that reducing needless hospitalization can reduce
healthcare expenses, which may be especially important in chronic illness
management. This is advantageous from a utilitarian standpoint in terms of
achieving successful outcomes for as many patients as feasible.
2. Healthcare Providers
Despite the fact that healthcare technology offers great opportunities to
enhance healthcare outcomes, improper use must be addressed. The
technological imperative relates to the inevitability of new technology and
its necessary character, which indicates the necessity for adoption for
social benefit. The dominance of technology in healthcare arguably
modifies the objective of healthcare from preservation and restoration
under responsible autonomy to death prevention.
3. Patients
The implications of the moral obligation bleed over into the issues that
patients face. The necessity to assure appropriate use of costly equipment
(at least during the early adoption period) and the moral obligation to use
new technology directly contradicts the need to protect patient autonomy,
as drawn from the application of personalism to healthcare systems.
C. CURRENT TECHNOLOGY:
ISSUES AND DILEMMA
Privacy and Security. The issue of privacy and security will
always be in question once technology is applied in the
healthcare setting. Autonomy and transparency relates to
this issue as to what choice can the patient make.
According to Shaw and Donia (2021)it is in the interest of
technology developers and other supporters of digital
health to keep attention focused on technical challenges
that can be contained and addressed using technical
approaches.
Sociotechnical Health Shaw and Donia (2021) defined
Sociotechnical as to the observation that issues pertaining
to technologies such as applications of digital health are
never solely about the material technology itself, but about
the mutual dependencies between technologies and the
social arrangements in which they are built and used. The
term “sociotechnical” thus denotes a broadening of focus
from the issues defined by a technology itself, to the
broader universe of issues opened up by the recognition
that technologies are built and embedded in the social
world in ways that profoundly shape and are shaped by
human life.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Shaw and Donia (2021) identified that ethical issues at the level of application software
include effectiveness, usability, inclusiveness, transparency, and other issues related to
the functioning and direct use of the digital health offering.
MATERIAL DEVICES AND SUPPLY CHAINS
The actual materials used to build and distribute the devices through which humans
interact with digital health technologies are frequently overlooked in ethical analyses, but
they are crucial for a comprehensive view of digital health ethics.
INFRASTRUCTURES
This refers to the hardware and software required to operate digital devices. Shaw and
Donia (2021)added that infrastructures include the buildings in which health care providers
work when delivering virtual care, the cables and wires that enable digital signals to travel
over distance, and the corporate structures of the organizations that make digital
communication available. Ethical issues relevant to infrastructure includes a lack of high-
speed internet availability precludes a particular community from accessing digital health
care.
INDIVIDUAL HEALTH-RELATED PRACTICES
Shaw and Donia (2021)highlighted that digital technologies are used in a variety of
health-related applications, many of which are intended to promote healthy activity and
the management of disease among individual people.
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Digital health technologies have the potential to have a wide range of effects on
interpersonal relationships. One prominent example is the significant impact of social
media applications on public understanding of health-related science and policy.
ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES
Digital technologies have the potential to dramatically alter daily work practices, and thus
the structure and function of organizations. The manner in which health-care
organizations navigate the transition from analog to digital work environments is likely
to have far-reaching consequences for the nature of health-care work and patient care.
