The advent and expansion of electronic medical record systems and open-access databases are creating a "data tsunami." As this wave descends, we must anticipate and address several ethical and social risks: threats to patient privacy, threats to the reputations of various social groups, and threats to public trust in biomedical research.
电子病历系统和开放获取数据库的出现与扩展正在引发一场“数据海啸”。随着这股浪潮的袭来,我们必须预见并应对若干伦理和社会风险:对患者隐私的威胁、对各类社会群体声誉的威胁以及对公众对生物医学研究信任的威胁。
