Web 2.0 innovations may enhance informed patient decision-making, but also raise ethical concerns about inaccurate or misleading information, damage to the doctor-patient relationship, privacy and confidentiality, and health disparities. To increase the benefits and decrease the risks of these innovations, we recommend steps to help patients assess the quality of health information on the Internet; promote constructive doctor-patient communication about new information technologies; and set standards for privacy and data security in patient-controlled health records and for point-of-service advertising.
Web 2.0创新可能会增强患者的知情决策能力，但也引发了一些伦理问题，如不准确或误导性信息、医患关系受损、隐私和保密问题以及健康差距。为了增加这些创新的益处并降低风险，我们建议采取以下措施：帮助患者评估互联网上健康信息的质量；促进医患就新信息技术进行建设性沟通；为患者控制的健康记录中的隐私和数据安全以及服务点广告制定标准。
