c) Precision medicine

4) Briefly describe the ethical issues arising from the use of biomedical instrumentation.

5) Briefly describe patient identity management system and discuss the tasks and ethical issues involved in creating such a system.

Answer 1

1)Patient Identity Management System is a method of collecting patient data and it is matched in the system

Health information exchange is a method of data transfer of patient details between the healthcare team

Clinical data repository is a method of collecting data from various sources in regards to patient and showcasing it in a single way

Ans:c)Clinical data repository

2.Billing and coding compliance, avoiding conflicts of interest are already existing potential ethical issues whereas due to technological advancement and vast search engines,the genetic material of the patient can be identified which may be a threat to individual (psychologically and financially )

Ans:c)increasing knowledge of patiwnt genetic material

3.Genomic medicine is a form of treatment based on the study of genes of an individual, which helps to identify the risk factors,possible disease and the making treatment plan accordingly

Biomarkers are one where thw risk can be assessed and how the environment relates and the way of managing

Precision medicine is a form where genetic material or content of the patient are used to plan the treatment

Ans:a)Genomic medicine

4.The ethical issues arising from a biomedical instrumentation are

• The possibility of technical error
• The decisions are made by the instruments rather than a humsn (provider)
• Human may depend on it for reliability which can result in lack of expertise without device.
