The document discusses patient confidentiality and breaches that occur in hospitals. One study found that breaches occurred every 62.5 hours on average. The most common breaches involved sharing patient clinical or personal data with unauthorized medical staff or external individuals. It is important for all clinicians to understand that just because they work for an organization providing patient care, it does not entitle them to access any patient information. The presentation makes recommendations for improving privacy policies at one California hospital, including staff education and training on confidentiality, limiting access to records, and creating team agreements.

Hippa training on confidentiality
HIPAA is a federal law that protects patients' medical information and sets rules for who can access it. It requires health plans, providers, and clearinghouses to protect oral, written and electronic protected health information. It gives patients rights over their information, such as access and request for amendments. Violations can result in civil penalties up to $1.5 million and criminal penalties including prison time, depending on the severity and intent of the violation. Healthcare workers must carefully protect patient privacy and only share information with those directly involved in their care.

This document discusses workplace confidentiality training. It defines confidentiality as keeping private the information patients reveal to healthcare providers, and outlines some key principles and regulations regarding confidentiality:
The Hippocratic Oath and international medical ethics codes establish confidentiality standards. HIPAA's Privacy Rule protects individually identifiable health information. Patients have rights to confidentiality but there are exceptions like subpoenas or statutory reporting requirements. Patient consent is required to release information to most third parties, but not for certain health oversight or law enforcement purposes. The training stresses the importance of protecting confidential patient information and the consequences for breaching confidentiality.
Patient confidentiality training
HIPAA includes punishments for violating patient privacy and calls on healthcare workers to learn and follow the rules of privacy and confidentiality in order to build patient trust. Under HIPAA, patients have the right to control who sees their protected health information. HIPAA was enacted in 1996 and established national standards for protecting health information held by health plans, providers, and clearinghouses, with the goals of protecting patient access to their own health records, improving quality of care, and increasing efficiency. HIPAA training for covered entities focuses on properly handling protected health information and avoiding violations.

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.
Administrative ethic paper
This document discusses various administrative ethics issues relating to patient privacy. It addresses concerns over what information should be considered confidential and how to properly secure private health records. The piece also examines potential solutions like restricting access to patient files through passwords or only allowing doctors to access records for their own patients.

HIPAA protects patients' private health information and sets privacy and security standards for handling health information. It applies to covered entities like health plans, providers, and clearinghouses. Protected health information includes a patient's medical records and billing information. Covered entities must protect PHI and allow patients access to their own information. Violating HIPAA can result in fines and penalties from the Department of Health and Human Services or disciplinary action from employers. All employees who access PHI must understand and follow HIPAA regulations to avoid misuse of patient information.
Confidentiality
As a manager, there are several ways to train employees on maintaining patient confidentiality with electronic health records (EHRs). Training could include:
1) Implementing HIPAA policies that require all staff to sign acknowledging they understand patients' privacy rights. Violations would result in immediate termination.
2) Requiring unique usernames and passwords for EHR access to track which staff view which patient records.
3) Encrypting stored health information so it can only be read by authorized individuals with special access keys.
4) Creating an audit trail that records each time a record is accessed, by whom, and any changes made to increase accountability.
Protected health information
Protected health information includes patients' demographics, medical records, and insurance information. Patient privacy is important and protected by HIPAA, which establishes standards to keep health information confidential. HIPAA requires healthcare providers to implement procedures protecting patient information and privacy when it is accessed or transferred.

Security, Confidentiality and Privacy in Health of Healthcare Data
Background One of the most important facts that should be considered is confidentiality in order to maintain privacy turning out to be matters of security. Keeping up confidentiality is a crucial factor in any field, as well as health realms. Professionals who have the ingress to approach the patients' communications must keep confidentiality in health. The priority for any human being is privacy to information especially related to health. Security enables us to live peacefully, without anxiety and in full insurance. Methods The interpretive methodology was used in this research as it gives an impression of face to face interactions in healthcare bringing in social reality of what is happening in the health society.Results In consultations on gathering these results for our research, we also realized that the most common threats of loss of data and theft come under certain types of disclosures mainly third parties, routine and inadvertent. Upon this realization, there must be notification to protect security, confidentiality and privacy when security breaches occur mainly to patients. As a result, patients must provide consent about their medical information in electronically form or in writing and the consent must be signed by the patient or family member or trusted entity. The patients must come clear on the nature of the information to be disclosed and where it should be disclosed and also when the consent should expire. At the same time, a health facility must take care of the institution's database and can only disclose to the management of the health institution whose obligation would also be to protect the data, as they might need the information for research purposes, where the researchers have approval from their institution's or to legal representatives.Conclusion The advent of the hype of electronic information technology leads to major inconvenience in the main areas of human life. This manuscript explores issues in maintaining confidentiality and privacy in healthcare and other analysis of its value to individual and society as a whole. “Right to privacy is really important.

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.

It notes that patient medical information should only be accessible to authorized medical personnel and only with patient consent. Hospitals must implement security measures, train all staff on confidentiality policies, and enforce disciplinary actions for any breaches of patient privacy. Maintaining patient trust by protecting their personal health information is a top priority.
Audit trails
1) The document discusses the implementation of electronic medical records (EMRs) on mobile devices and the security risks this poses. It proposes adding audit checks throughout the EMR access and usage process to monitor for abnormal behavior.
2) Role-based access control (RBAC) is introduced to limit employee permissions to only what is needed for their role. This prevents unauthorized access to patient information.
3) While privacy of medical records is important, the document argues that patients should have access to their own records upon request rather than going through lengthy processes. However, most patients currently lack the health literacy to manage their own records securely.

Abstract
Topic:
Privacy- What medical information should be confidential? Who, if anybody, should have access to medical records?
Thesis Statement
In healthcare centers and overall privacy is the right of every US citizen that should be protected in all its forms by the healthcare organization.
Rationale
1. The purpose of this paper is to identify why security measures are necessary to protect one’s privacy in the medical industry.
2. There are numerous laws, policies and healthcare organizational rules and regulations and statistics that would be helpful for conducting this research.
3. Privacy of a person whether this is me or you, is important then everything. I want to talk on this topic because I think most of us do not know what is happening to us.
4. I have selected textual analysis of books and available internet sources. The reason of this limited research methodology is that I cannot perform field study because of shortage of time.
Rough Draft Ideas
Identity theft in healthcare industry become a common practice and leads to information leakage that may destroy someone’s life. We can eliminate this human right violation by enforcing effective and practical laws. Healthcare organizations should understand their responsibilities and tighten security to protect information of patients.

Introduction
While operating in healthcare organizations need to gather patient’s information that is mostly personal information. It is the moral and legal responsibility of health care organizations to protect the information of their patients and do not share it with people outside of the organization without the patient’s consent. Protecting patient’s information is a crucial element of respect and essential for patients' autonomy and trust in the organization — the US healthcare industry currently facing patient mistrust that is caused because of a lack of trust. When patients experience a lack of confidence they do not share their information with a healthcare professional that causes ineffective treatment. In a 2018 study, Levy, Scherer, Zikmund-Fisher, Larkin, Barnes, & Fagerlin concluded that approximately 81.1% of people withheld medically relevant information from their health-care providers. Patients fail to disclose medically relevant information in front of their clinicians undermine their health and cause patient harm (Levy, 2018).

Abstract
More rules and regulations have been proposed by government and various organizations in order to improve the overall health care system of the country. There is increasing compliant and requirement for high-quality health care system which can be provided only using the proper law, regulation and health care administrator. There are many issues faced by the people due to non-compliance and negligence which can be reduced only through proper governance. Health care administrator has more concern over the legal, ethical and code of conduct of the medical professionals. Effective laws governing the health care system cannot bring any changes in the entire system; it is the administrator who ensures that this system is performing as per the requirement of law. In this paper we will first discuss the role of health care administrator in the health care system and a brief discussion about the penalties in case of any violations. In the later part of paper, we will discuss about the basic elements required by the patients to prove the medical negligence and a brief discussion about non-compliance by the medical professionals.
Health care administrator’s role and patient protection
Health care administrator’s role:
Healthcare system of the country compared with the other organization or any other community which is governed by various rules, regulations, principles, laws and ethics. Administrator must be aware of all the governing laws, ethical behavior, what are the roles and responsibilities, so that the entire system will get benefitted. About health care system, patients are given priority as a health care administrator one has to ensure that patients are not facing any difficulty at any point of time. Must immediately address any concerns of the patients, and any violation must immediately report.
There are some problems identified in the governance of health care system, there are more gaps in the corporate and clinical governance, and they are not effectively managed (The Dowton Consulting International, 2011). The corporate side mainly concern with the rules, regulations, policies, laws, people and professionals. Next is a clinical side that mainly deals with the safety and security of the patient, patient care standards and creating an excellent environment for the patient (The Dowton Consulting International, 2011).
As an administrator, it is essential to bridge the gap between these two in order to accomplish the desired result. As an administrator it is essential to governing the relationship between both the medical professional and patient, for providing the best service to the patients. Relationship with the patients, gaining their confidence, discharging the duty a ...
Confidentiality
This document discusses confidentiality in healthcare. It defines confidentiality as limiting sensitive patient information to authorized parties. Breaches of confidentiality occur when information is shared without consent, such as through conversations or electronic files. Laws like HIPAA and organizations like AMA establish privacy regulations. Covered entities must protect patients' non-public information, including medical records, billing details, and conversations. Patients have rights to control access and updates to their health information. However, in some cases like public health risks, medical personnel have a duty to report. The document outlines penalties for privacy violations and best practices to prevent breaches.

The document discusses the issues doctors face regarding maintaining appropriate boundaries between their personal and professional lives online. It notes that both nurses and police officers have faced disciplinary action for inappropriate social media posts. While email privacy is high, blogs, forums and Twitter allow more public discussions that could breach patient confidentiality. The General Medical Council provides some guidance but regulators struggle to define where professional responsibilities end in a doctor's personal life. Experts say cases will need to be judged individually based on whether the content could undermine public trust in the medical profession.
Patient’s confidentiality
This document discusses the importance of patient confidentiality in healthcare. It notes that a patient's medical file and personal information should be kept private between the patient and their doctor. Healthcare providers must have security measures in place to protect confidential patient files and require consent before sharing any patient information. The document also stresses the importance of training staff on patient confidentiality laws and monitoring their access to patient records to prevent breaches like the incident where over 120 UCLA hospital staff inappropriately accessed celebrity health records. Regular training can help make employees aware of the rules around patient confidentiality and the consequences of violating them.
Confidentiality powerpoint
Over 120 hospital staff at UCLA inappropriately viewed patient health records between 2004 and 2006, breaching patient confidentiality. This was due to inadequate training of hospital staff on HIPAA guidelines regarding protected patient information. To address this issue, the hospital needs to implement a new training protocol to educate all current and new staff on HIPAA regulations, with an emphasis on only accessing the minimum necessary patient information needed to perform job duties. Failure to follow HIPAA guidelines compromises patient privacy and trust in the healthcare organization.

Mha 690 week 1 discussion
- 1. Mohamad Hamdan Patient Confidentiality MHA 690 Dr. Hwangji Lu 7/17/2020
- 2. Breaches in patient confidentiality occur more often than we’d like. In fact, according to one study, “Following 7138 days and 33157 h of observation, we found an estimated Frequency Index of one breach per 62.5 h. As regards the typology of the observed breaches, the most frequent (54,6 %) were related to the consultation and/or disclosure of clinical and/or personal data to medical personnel not involved in the patient’s clinical care, as well as people external to the hospital” (Beltran- Aroca, C. 2016). It’s important that all clinicians understand that just because they belong to an organization that is directly responsible for the care of a patient does not entitle them to access that information. This presentation looks at one particular hospital in California and makes recommendations regarding improving patient privacy policy.
- 3. It’s been reported by Fox News that over 120 medical professionals looked at celebrity patient’s records been 2004-2006 (Fox News 2008). This is a severe ethical violation that threatens the integrity of any organization.
- 4. Have staff meetings and training on patient confidentiality Limit access to patient records Draft team working agreements
- 5. I believe the most important thing managers can do is to raise awareness of patient privacy and the consequences of violating privacy policies. I also believe that firmness and toughness has its place in management if done correctly. When I enlisted in the army, the very first thing they had us do was sit in a room where a sergeant addressed why it’s important to reveal our entire medical history and described the consequences of lying. At the time, I left out a minor procedure I had done several years back, and the idea of being caught terrified me. From that moment, I became very transparent about everything in terms of legal documents. I believe healthcare professionals need to be educated about the importance of maintaining patient privacy, and even if they work for an organization overseeing the care of a patient, that does not entitle them to access their information. Healthcare professionals need to know that upper level management does have knowledge about who is accessing data, what data is being a accessed, and what are repercussions for improper access to data. I genuinely that those who were discovered to be accessing celebrity data either did not realize that they organization can monitor them or felt that being part of the organization on its own gave them the right to access the data. Organizations must also take considerable measure to limit access to only individuals who are involved in the patient care. There is no reason for departments to have access to patients in different departments. Lastly, managers must draft working agreement contracts and have employees sign that they acknowledge their boundaries when it comes to accessing patient records and that they will take full responsibility of repercussions.
- 6. That’s why meetings and agreement contracts are effective. As one article points out, “Where there is no Law, There is no sin. The Team Agreement is not a law or set of rules, just an understanding of the acceptable behaviors within an association or a team” (Business Analyst. 2018).
