How can we improve confidentiality within the
organization
By: Chaun’ta Holmes
What is Confidentiality and Why is
it Important
 The actual definition of confidentiality “the state of
keeping or being kept secret or private”
 Confidentiality is important mainly because it is the
patients right to determine who has access to their
persons and personal information.
Confidentiality in Healthcare
 As part of confidentiality in health care, health care
providers should not share their patients’ personal
health information inappropriately outside the
patient-provider relationship.
 That includes with coworkers , family members and
friends.
 No information of any kind should be disclosed about a
patient.
Ways to Prevent Breech in
Confidentiality
 Training
 There are two types of training that I would like to
provide the staff in the organization in order to prevent
a breech in confidentiality.
 The first set of training would be to train them on the
different ways to prevent patient information from being
seen.
 The second would be to train them on how to access the
information when they need to see it.
Ways to Prevent Breech in
Confidentiality Cont’d
 Training of the staff will include information on how
they, themselves, can avoid breech in confidentiality.
 They will be taught to exit completely out of patient
files once they have the information they need.
 They will be taught to never discuss patient in an
common area around providers who have now part in
patient treatment.
 They will also be informed of the consequences they
will face if they breech confidentiality.
Ways to Prevent Breech in
Confidentiality Cont’d
 In order to prevent unauthorized people from seeing
information they are not suppose to see about a
patient I will have it where patient information can be
access from certain computers in the organization.
 In addition to that there will be additional security
codes that must be put in order to see the patient
information.
 It would be information that only the doctor
 Such as a pin number that can not be disclosed to
anyone else.
Ways to Prevent Breech in
Confidentiality Cont’d
 Since there are chances where people get ahold of providers
access codes , it will be mandatory that access codes be
changed regularly
 So even if someone go a code it is not guaranteed that they
will be able to use it.
 One other change would be that a particular access code
can only be used on a specific device within the
organization. during the hours that they specific provider
is to be on duty.
 The device that would be most likely used would be the
providers office computer or personal computer they use
when they see the patients.
