Leonard Fleck gives his commentary on the issue stating that the physician breaching confidentiality is only justified when there is an imminent threat of serious irreversible harm; there is no alternative to avert that threat; and the harm that would thereby be averted is proportionate to the harm associated with breaching confidentiality. Fleck argues that breaching confidentiality would be unjustified. Fleck further argues that if Carlos were receiving home health care there would be no reason to breach confidentiality because the nurse would be expected to follow universal precautions when caring for Carlos. The same universal precautions would be explained and demonstrated for Consuela. This would be a satisfactory response that protects both Carlos’ rights and the general welfare of Consuela.…

However, everything that is said or communicated by…
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability act of 1996 or HIPAA, was put in place as an attempt to reform health care during the Clinton administration by making it possible for workers, of any profession, to change jobs regardless if the worker, or any member of their family, have a pre-existing medical condition, decreasing paperwork which is associated with the processing of health claims, and by reducing health care abuse and fraud, and by assuring the privacy and security of health information. HIPAA’s standards for privacy of individually identifiable health information or privacy rule includes restrictions which protect the confidentiality and security of health information, and determines a criterion to protect the confidentiality of individually identifiable health information that is maintained or transmitted through electronic means in association with certain administrative and financial transactions such as electronic transfer of health insurance claims.

Child abuse and for the greater good are just two of several exceptions to confidentiality. Healthcare professionals are legally required to report any suspected child abuse and can disclose medical information to Child Protective Services and investigation services. Though confidentiality is one of the uppermost priorities in health care, there are times when the best interest of the public outweighs the protection of a patient’s private medical information (Stanford & Connor, 2014). For an instance, if someone has a highly contagious disease, alerting the public can help ensure their…
