Dr. Patterson’s office calls to give patient Sara Martin her test results from her most recent visit. Her husband answers the phone and states that Sara is not home, but that he can relay the test results to her. Is Dr. Patterson’s office able to release this information? What might determine if this is allowed? Write 1-2 paragraphs on how you think this should be handled.

Respuesta :

No Dr. Patterson's office shouldn't give Sara personal information to her husband if he didn't ask her first even through she isn't home.Dr. Patterson is Sara doctor, he isn't Sara's husband doctor. If it is allowed then that would be a different situation.

Answer : No, Dr. Patterson's office has to forbid from sharing the information to Sara Martin's husband. They have to ensure that complete confidentiality is practiced while dealing with sharing of the test results of the patient. They have to either take the permission of the patient to share the test results or the severity of the disease will determine whether it can be shared with any relative of patient or not.
