    Infoethics is crucial for health information systems, emphasizing that human factors, especially inter-human relationships, are more critical than technical aspects for system success.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Information Science
    • Ethics

    Background:

    • Health information systems (HIS) are complex technological tools.
    • Evaluating HIS requires understanding their impact on human environments.
    • Technology's influence extends beyond mere instrumentality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Introduce the concept of infoethics.
    • Argue for the significance of infoethics in HIS.
    • Highlight the dominance of the human component in HIS evaluation.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual argument based on a working conference.
    • Focus on the human component in health information systems.
    • Analysis of human-computer and human-human interaction.

    Main Results:

    • Human factors, particularly inter-human relationships, are paramount in HIS.
    • Technical factors, while necessary, are insufficient for HIS success.
    • Large information systems in healthcare function as social systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Infoethics is essential for designing and evaluating HIS.
    • The social, psychological, and ethical dimensions of HIS are critical.
    • Successful HIS depend on effective human-human interaction within the system.
