Disclosure and Documentation
Part 1
Patient privacy is one of the most important things we do as healthcare providers. Laws
and regulations are put in place to ensure that everyone in the medical community is following
the rules and ensuring there is no breach of information. There is never an exception to never
giving out a patient's information whether it be intentionally or unintentionally. Unfortunately,
there are still some instances where this information is not protected in the way that it should.
In one case imparticular this breach of confidentiality happened to someone that was not
only battling a terminal illness but also her privacy. Farrah Fawcett had suspected someone had
been leaking her health information to the tabloids but it wasn’t until she took matters into her
own hands and did a sting operation to get the proof she needed that someone was indeed leaking
her health information to the media. When her cancer returned she deliberately withheld the
information from everyone in her life to prove that someone was leaking the information
(ALSONFI, S. WILD, A. HAGAN, K. and IBANGA, I. 2009). A tabloid had paid an employee
almost 5 grand for the information on Fawcett just 4 days after getting the information herself.
While having to deal with such a horrible diagnosis she also had to figure out who was leaking
her information during such a trying time for her and her family. With HIPAA in place, the
liability of this case falls on the hospital in the form of a torte. Liability is the legal obligation
determined by the court and the person responsible for the tort will be responsible for any
damages, or compensation to the party affected (Melanie.2017).
