HIPAA(健康保險隱私及責任法案)規定必須嚴格保護病人的個人健康資訊(PHI)。違規行為通常包括:在公共場所談論病人(A)、未經授權向第三人透露住院資訊(B)、未經授權查閱不在照護範圍內的病歷(C,即使是熟人),以及未保護電子病歷之隱私(D)。護理師必須確保資訊僅流向有照護需求的醫療人員,任何非必要的資訊洩漏皆屬於違規。
HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requires strict protection of patients' protected health information (PHI). Violations typically include: discussing patients in public areas (A); disclosing inpatient information to a third party without authorization (B); accessing the chart of someone outside one's scope of care without authorization (C, even if the person is an acquaintance); and failing to safeguard the privacy of electronic health records (D). Nurses must ensure that information flows only to healthcare personnel with a legitimate need to know, and any unnecessary disclosure constitutes a violation.
