Remley and Herlihy (2016) defines confidentiality as an ethical concept which refers to the counselor 's obligation to respect the client 's privacy and in session discussion will be protected from disclosure without their consent (p.108). The receptionist never disclosed what was being discussed in wife A session; however, her inadvertent breach of confidentiality occurred the moment she divulged the fact that wife A is a patient at a mental health facility. An important premise to understanding the ethical principle of confidentiality is base that a counselor respects the client 's right to privacy (Remley & Herlihy, 2016; Quigley, 2007). Premise one states the "counselor honor the rights of clients to decide who knows what information about them and in what circumstances" (p.110).

There were concerns related to risks of hackers, malware attacks, password changes which can be disruptive to the clinical workflow and can lead to inefficiency. Human errors, inadequate knowledge and ability to use PHR (health literacy). Are the patients aware of the HIPAA regulations? Some patients of a particular age group refrain from using PHR.

The purpose of this paper is to review and summarize the literature on the pros and cons of electronic health record systems. This paper describes the many benefits of electronic health record systems, which include but are not limited to, less paperwork, increased quality of care, financial incentives, and increased efficiency and productivity. Organizational outcomes and societal benefits are also addressed. Despite the tremendous amount of benefits, studies in the literature highlight potential disadvantages of electronic health record systems. These disadvantages include privacy and security concerns, identity theft, data loss, financial issues, and changes in workflow, involving a temporary loss of productivity. Preventative measures that can be taken are addressed as well. Overall, people believe that the benefits of electronic health records can be realized when they are used correctly, and proper measures are taken to reduce any potential drawbacks.

Everyone is entitled to confidentiality unless they give permission for someone else to see their information or they can no longer make decisions on their own (for example, if they are confused or comatose).

The Privacy Rule sets specific rules regarding privacy, access, and disclosure of information. For example, HIPAA specifies the following:

I am currently interning at an outpatient dialysis clinic in Manhattan. For confidentiality purposes I will address my patient as Mr. E. Mr. E is an African-American male in his late 40s who is married and a member of the LGBT community. He has several illnesses besides kidney failure that is substantially impacting his health, some of which includes Hepatitis C, HIV, liver failure, and heart disease. During our initial session Mr. E was assessed high on the CES-D 10 depression scale and reports having many stressors in his life including his health issues, relationship problems and not having time to do self-care activities. He claims to have a down mood most days but also reports having hope for better health in the future. Mr. E. has

During the role play in class today I found that It was a lot easier to be the client then the interviewee. I had to interview a person with schizophrenia. This was really difficult because I had to learn how to interview a client with a mental disorder never having practiced before. I think I did a good job for a first try. Something I did forget to stated which mas a major thing is the confidentiality statement. Staying that everything spoken would be confidential as long as they don’t threaten to harm themselves or other. I think I did a good job at having the client talk and holding myself composure when the client would have episodes. For example, at one point the client yelled and looked at the wall. She then screamed STOP SAYING THAT!.

As a five year old, running around playing doctor was one of my favorite pastimes. On this particular day, one that vividly sticks out in my head, I was playing doctor to my favorite patient, my grandmother. As part of our doctor-patient/grandmother-child confidentiality agreement, we would also indulge in telling secrets. As I was checking her heartbeat to make sure she was well and alive, she said, “Annie, I’m going to tell you a secret, but you cannot tell anyone.” As a very young professional, I took our confidentiality agreement seriously and swore not to tell a single soul. She informed me she had a small lump in her breast and she was scared to find out what was wrong. I remember urging her to go to the hospital to make sure she was

I have the same views that you have mention in your discussion pertaining to hospital barriers with electronic health records.
