title: Health care telematics: who is liable?
abstract: This paper deals with questions of liability that may arise with the implementation and use of telematics and informatics in the health care sector. Traditionally liability has evolved around the responsible health care professionals. However, with increasing reliance on informatics and telematics in health care there may come a shift away from this concept of liability to the idea of shared liability between the responsible health care professionals and those who have provided this technology.
