Abstract

E-health involves professionals and non-professionals and raises safety and security issues that affect the quality of health care. Therefore, the chapter provides some basic ideas on e-health safety and security, focusing on the healthcare provider perspective. To clarify some of the controversies and some of the problems in the use of data, arising from the use of e-health without taking into consideration the safety and security issues, we present one novel unpublished case and six cases from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Multi-Media Consumer Information, (FDA) Patient Safety News. Topics highlight fraud, impersonation of health care professionals, misuse of data and information, and backups.
