Week 1 dq 2 - confidentiality1
Training employees on patient confidentiality is important for healthcare organizations. At UCLA Hospital, some staff inappropriately accessed celebrity medical records. To prevent future breaches, the manager would implement training on HIPAA laws, ethics, disciplinary actions for privacy violations, and security measures to restrict unauthorized access to patient information and records. This training would help employees properly handle private patient data and avoid legal and reputational consequences of confidentiality violations.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality of patient health information is a statutory right. This includes genetic and mental health information as well as information in medical records and clinical research. Under HIPAA, healthcare institutions must have policies to protect electronic patient information, including computer access and security procedures. Employees should be trained on their ethical responsibilities regarding patient confidentiality and how to prioritize it over other organizational values if necessary. Breaches of confidentiality by removing identifiable patient information from secure healthcare settings violates patient privacy rights, except in certain overriding circumstances where disclosure is legally permitted.

Confidentiality refers to keeping patient information private. The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and personal health information. It requires safeguards to protect privacy and sets limits on uses and disclosures of information without patient authorization. Patients have rights over their health information including access and corrections. Information can only be viewed with patient permission or when necessary for treatment or billing. Only staff involved in a patient's care or billing may view information. Identifiable patient information like names, social security numbers must be protected. When in doubt, do not release information and obtain written consent. Violations of confidentiality can result in fines or jail time. Healthcare organizations must take measures to ensure patient information privacy.
Confidentiality
This document discusses patient confidentiality and protecting private health information. It defines confidentiality as limiting patient information to specified parties like doctors and patients. Technology and unethical healthcare workers put confidentiality at risk. To protect confidentiality, healthcare workers must understand privacy laws and use passwords, limiting access to records. Workers must attend annual training on confidentiality and face consequences for violations, such as warnings, supervision, or firing depending on the severity of the breach.

Patient confidentiality
More than 120 UCLA hospital workers inappropriately accessed celebrity and patient medical records between 2003-2007, violating patient privacy and confidentiality. One employee viewed over 900 patient records without authorization. Two employees were fired and faced criminal charges for viewing celebrity and 60 other patient records. The hospital updated its computer system and security training to block display of full social security numbers following this breach. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 provides federal protections for personal health information and addresses security and privacy of health data. Hospitals must provide HIPAA training to employees, use confidentiality agreements, enforce password security, and automatically terminate those who fail to keep patient information private.
Patient confidentiality
More than 120 UCLA hospital workers inappropriately accessed celebrity medical records and other patient information between 2003-2007, with one employee viewing 900 records without authorization. As a result, 127 employees were fired or suspended. One employee, LaWanda Jackson, viewed 60 patient records including a celebrity and faces criminal charges for violating privacy. To prevent further issues, the hospital updated computer systems to block full social security numbers and increased employee training on privacy and security as required by HIPAA. HIPAA was implemented in 1996 to provide federal protections for patient health information and address security and privacy of data.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

- 1. Confidentiality Reading the Report: Over 120 UCLA Hospital Staff Saw Celebrity Health Records article, what training could you as a manager put into place to avoid this situation? Present your training idea using any Web 2.0 tools. How can this training on confidentiality be effective for the employees? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. 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. 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.
- 2. 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. 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) References: Confidentiality Stock Photos and Images. 589.
