Caregivers, patients, and their family members are increasingly reliant on social network websites for storing, communicating, and referencing medical information.

We must identify and reflect on medical ethics issues and be accountable for maintaining privacy for the patient. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
