Ethical experiences - introducing new technologies into healthcare service delivery

Abstract

There is an urgent need to apply domain-specific social and collaborative HCI innovations to improve healthcare service delivery. However, the diversity of ethical issues surrounding research with new technologies in such settings is a large and relatively unchartered barrier. Whilst patient orientated issue research abounds, far less is known about the sensitivities surrounding HCI research with respect to the rest of the stakeholders including doctors, nurses, and managers; nor are the effects well known of the introduction of new technologies upon the public image of hospitals. Ethical issues arising from the use of new technologies in researching and supporting this broad view of users of hospital environments and services forms the basis of this paper. We present three healthcare service delivery research projects that employ new digital technologies and examine a diversity of ethical issues which arise in such settings.
