In this context, we discuss the concepts of bioethics in the framework of scientific research in information science and its application to electronic patient record. The results show the care that researchers of this theme need to have in order to address ethical issues involving access to multiple and diverse types of information recorded in these documents in order to ensure confidentiality and respect for the individuality of data on the sick person, also addressing what the laws on bioethics determines in Brazil and in the worldwide context.
