COVID-19 pandemic: ethical issues and recommendations for emergency triage
1College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Dalian Medical University, Dalian, Liaoning, China.
Abstract:
The current epidemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a public health event worldwide. Through ethical analysis of a series of epidemic prevention phenomena and epidemic prevention measures taken by the Chinese (and other countries) government and medical institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper discusses a series of ethical difficulties in hospital emergency triage caused by the COVID-19, including the autonomy limitation of patients and waste of epidemic prevention resources due to over-triage, the safety problem of patients because of inaccurate feedback information from intelligent epidemic prevention technology, and conflicts between individual interests of patients and public interests due to the "strict" implementation of the pandemic prevention and control system. In addition, we also discuss the solution path and strategy of these ethical issues from the perspective of system design and implementation based on the Care Ethics theory.
