Scenario 4

A local community non-profit organization that receives some state funding is conducting a campaign to “increase awareness of certain public health issues”. You work in a hospital. A representative from the non-profit contacted you and requested a list of patients (names and dates treated) seen in the emergency department for asthma-related issues. They plan to use this list to contact the patients so they can provide them with information related to free or low-cost resources in the area. Your hospital uses a Notice of Privacy Practices based on the Sample NPP provided in this class.

Question 5 (20 points): Do you provide the list of patients?

answer as if you were the Chief Privacy Officer

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Being a chief privacy officer I would certainly not provide the information about the health of the patient or the patient itself is not at all permissible as abiding & keeping the privacy standards intact is very much important in order to be able to maintain the quality of the service also to keep the things safe & secure. Even if the patient of anyone else would ever approach for such sort of request I would straight away deny them for the same keeping the privacy policy in place.
