You may have heard of the term “patient confidentiality,” but what does it actually mean? Find out in our quick analysis what privacy (in healthcare) really is and what it means to trust your doctor.

SOME EXCEPTIONS:

1. Disclosure with patient consent: Patient confidentiality may be waived if the patient provides explicit consent for their information to be shared with a third party.

2. Disclosure to protect the patient or others: If a health care provider believes that there is a significant risk of harm to the patient or others, he or she may be required to disclose confidential information to prevent that harm.

3. Disclosure for Legal Reasons: Health care providers may be required by law to disclose confidential patient information in response to a court order or other legal requirement.

4. Disclosure for public health reasons: Health care providers may be required to disclose certain information to public health authorities to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

5. Disclosure to protect children and vulnerable adults: Health care providers have a duty to report suspected cases of abuse or neglect involving children or vulnerable adults to the appropriate authorities.
