The Hippocratic Oath (the "Oath") is a longstanding body of ethical tenets that have undergone several amendments to accommodate changes and evolutions in the practice of medicine. In their recent perspective entitled, "A Revised Hippocratic Oath for the Era of Digital Health," Meskó and Spiegel offered proposed amendments to the Oath to address both challenges and needs that follow digital health implementation in clinical practice. In this commentary, we offer additional thoughts and considerations to Meskó and Spiegel's proposed amendments to accomplish two goals: (1) reflect on the shared goals and values of all digital health stakeholders and (2) drive home the focus on affirming patient choice, autonomy, and respect.
希波克拉底誓言(“誓言”)是一套长期存在的道德准则,已经经过多次修订,以适应医学实践中的变化和发展。在他们最近题为“数字健康时代的修订版希波克拉底誓言”的观点中,Meskó 和 Spiegel 对誓言提出了拟议的修正案,以解决数字健康在临床实践中的实施所带来的挑战和需求。在这篇评论中,我们对 Meskó 和 Spiegel 的拟议修正案提出了额外的思考和考虑,以实现两个目标:(1)反映所有数字健康利益相关者的共同目标和价值观;(2)强调确认患者的选择、自主权和尊重。
