Specifically, the use of informatics to mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2, support COVID-19 care delivery, and accelerate knowledge discovery bring to the forefront issues of privacy, surveillance, limits of state powers, and interoperability between public health and clinical information systems. Using a consensus-building process, we critically analyze informatics-related ethical issues in light of the pandemic across 3 themes: (1) public health reporting and data sharing, (2) contact tracing and tracking, and (3) clinical scoring tools for critical care. We provide context and rationale for ethical considerations and recommendations that are actionable during the pandemic and conclude with recommendations calling for longer-term, broader change (beyond the pandemic) for public health organization and policy reform.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocaa188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,24]],"date-time":"2020-07-24T19:13:11Z","timestamp":1595617991000},"page":"184-189","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Ethics
