Patient Confidentiality And Security

I agree, that patient’s confidentiality and security is important. Yes, some question may be too personal but at the same time if a provider gives you medicine to treat any existing problems and there is information that you held back form the provider. The doctor could possible give you something that causes a bad reaction. Unfortunately I do know someone who has had their privacy rights breached because one of the people working at the facility knew his mother and told her everything he knew about the patient. Sad to say my friend never reported this to anyone and this person still has their job today.
