Administrative Ethics HCS/335 February, 6, 2012 Administrative Ethics In today’s society it is essential that health care facilities maintain professionalism respecting the right of patient confidentiality. The privacy of patient personal information is to be between the patient and the physician. The medical staff has no reason to view patient personal history without billing purposes only. The patient must confide in the physician to disclose information about one’s health issues. The physician must know symptoms of the patient to find diagnosis.
Nurses are often the first point of contact for patients. Patients often must disclose personal details about their life style and past experience with nurses. This disclosure happens under the assumption that this information will only be shared on a need to know basis with those involved in their care. According to this article HIPAA regulation includes four main components: 1) Establishes limits for appropriate use and release of healthcare information; 2) Provides individuals with more control over their health information; 3) Requires the majority of healthcare providers and their agents to comply with safeguards to protect individual privacy related to healthcare information; 4) Delineates a set of civil and criminal penalties
