Conceptual approach to ethics Sample Clauses

Conceptual approach to ethics. In integrated care, the person (user/patient) centred approach represents the fundamental guideline. The basic principles of bioethics are relevant also in this context:  respect for persons;  beneficence; and  justice.

While this is not exclusively targeted at ICT, it is important to mention the existence of the European Charter of the Rights and Responsibilities of older people in need of long-term care and assistance as a relevant reference document when working on such issues. The Charter results from a European project, and is available in 13 languages. Its implementation is supported by an Accompanying Guide2. 1 The EGE (European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies) opinion on Ethical Issues of Healthcare in the Information Society (1999; Opinion 13) reflects on such concerns, and lists the following applying to the area of healthcare, but which are equally relevant today for the application of ICTs in support of independent living more generally:  the pervasiveness of a technology which many people do not understand;  the lack of transparency that may be brought to the work of healthcare professionals and its effe...
