Patient confidentiality and privacy of health information is essential to maintain trust between patients and medical professionals. Sharing a patient's private health details with unauthorized individuals can damage their health and recovery, as well as cause legal issues for health organizations. Federal laws such as HIPAA are intended to legally protect the privacy of individual health information while still allowing patients access to medical care.
Confidentiality can be defined as the
ethical principle or legal right that a
physician or other health professional will
hold secret all information relating to a
patient, unless the patient gives consent
permitting disclosure.

HIPAA Privacy Rule and Sharing Information Related to MentalSusanaFurman449
HIPAA Privacy Rule and Sharing Information
Related to Mental Health
Background
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule provides consumers
with important privacy rights and protections with respect to their health information,
including important controls over how their health information is used and disclosed by health plans
and health care providers. Ensuring strong privacy protections is critical to maintaining individuals’
trust in their health care providers and willingness to obtain needed health care services, and these
protections are especially important where very sensitive information is concerned, such as mental
health information. At the same time, the Privacy Rule recognizes circumstances arise where health
information may need to be shared to ensure the patient receives the best treatment and for other
important purposes, such as for the health and safety of the patient or others. The Rule is carefully
balanced to allow uses and disclosures of information—including mental health information—for
treatment and these other purposes with appropriate protections.
In this guidance, we address some of the more frequently asked questions about when it is
appropriate under the Privacy Rule for a health care provider to share the protected health
information of a patient who is being treated for a mental health condition. We clarify when HIPAA
permits health care providers to:
• Communicate with a patient’s family members, friends, or others involved in the patient’s
care;
• Communicate with family members when the patient is an adult;
• Communicate with the parent of a patient who is a minor;
• Consider the patient’s capacity to agree or object to the sharing of their information;
• Involve a patient’s family members, friends, or others in dealing with patient failures to
adhere to medication or other therapy;
• Listen to family members about their loved ones receiving mental health treatment;
• Communicate with family members, law enforcement, or others when the patient presents a
serious and imminent threat of harm to self or others; and
• Communicate to law enforcement about the release of a patient brought in for an emergency
psychiatric hold.
In addition, the guidance provides relevant reminders about related issues, such as the heightened
protections afforded to psychotherapy notes by the Privacy Rule, a parent’s right to access the
protected health information of a minor child as the child’s personal representative, the potential
applicability of Federal alcohol and drug abuse confidentiality regulations or state laws that may
provide more stringent protections for the information than HIPAA, and the intersection of HIPAA
and FERPA in a school setting.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Confidentiality slide share info
1. .
Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of life, which is why patient privacy and
confidentiality is even more vital when it comes to their health information. Protecting the
private details of a patient is not just a matter of moral respect, it is essential in retaining the
important bond of trust between doctor and patient.
2. Sharing patient health information with the wrong individual can hurt them and their health
condition. When patients are already dealing with health issues and discover their personal health
information has been shared with the wrong individuals can sometimescause them a setback in
recovery, especially if they are dealing with a serious health situation. Not only will it hurt the
patient it will cause harm to the health care organization as well with a lawsuit as the result.
3. Confidentiality is an important aspect of the trust in a relationship between a patient and their
physician, and any other medical professional that have anything to do with providing care for
them.
4. The HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164) provides the first comprehensive Federal
protection for the privacy of health and mental health information. The Rule is intended to
provide strong legal protections to ensure the privacy of individual health information, without
interfering with patient access to treatment, health care operations, or quality of care.(HIPAA,
2012)
