2. Guess who’s…..
• In today’s society, it is SO tempting to just
peek…after all it’s all over the news anyway.
• NOT – In health care, federal laws protect the
privacy and confidentiality of patient

violate them
3. No one will know….
• Wrong!
• Security policies include and address
utilization of all organization computers and
electronic equipment. Your ID and password
are personal and can be tracked. Don’t put
yourself at risk for violation by letting your
curiosity or someone else’s get the best of
you.
4. Professionalism is personal…
• Professional practice includes adhering to the
policies and practices of the organization as
well as protecting the patient.
• It’s simply the right thing to do…or not to do.
