HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER CONFIDENTIALITY

The Health and Wellness Center recognizes the inherent right of any individual to privacy. This includes patients and families, employees and physicians. Access to or disclosure of patients, physicians, or employeeidentified information will be granted only when such information is necessary to carry out job duties. Necessary exchange of confidential information shall be conducted in a manner which promotes privacy and prevents unauthorized disclosure. Discussion of confidential information in public places (elevators, cafeterias, etc.) is prohibited. An employees relationship to or familiarity with a patient does not justify intentional unauthorized access to information about that patient. Unauthorized access, release, use, or possession of confidential information by Health and Wellness Center employees and interns will result in disciplinary action. This may include discharge from the facility. Individual departments may develop more specific departmental policies regarding confidentiality consistent with this policy.

CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I have read the Confidentiality policy and understand the policy. I have had the opportunity to ask questions. I understand the Health and Wellness Centers expectations of me regarding this subject.
