MHA 690 WK 1 D2 Confidentiality
- 1. Loose Lips Sink Ships
- 3. Some things to remember: Whenever patients come to us for care they first and foremost place their confidence in us. To violate that means loosing that trust. Just like any of us our patients value their privacy.
- 5. Try to view patients security as you would the anchor on a ship That anchor would only ever be as strong as the weakest link. Never allow yourself to be that link. Everything related to your job is done as part of a team.
- 7. This class should be considered very seriously. Violations of the rules and regulations related to patients privacy and security may or may not be accompanied by a warning. Warning or no could and will result with termination.

Editor's Notes
- This lesson will involve teaching employees the pros and cons of confidentiality and who it affects. One thing to always remember is that loose lips can and will sink ships.
- Always try to stop and think what privacy means to you then try to apply to any and all patients. This could be an excellent personal guide that could have you always doing right by your patients.
- When you as employees think of patients privacy and security the following acronym should come to mind PPS meaning patients privacy and security.
- When patients come to our facility for any medically related reasons they are already in a vulnerable position. If their security is in anyway jeopardized it will only add to the stress they will have already being experiencing. Is that something you would willing do to anyone?
- If the situation has reached a point where you would require a warning that would not put you in a good position. You would now be under microscopic observation at all times.
- A special committee will decide the employees faith. No recommendations would be offered for further employment either.
- At the end of this class each employee would be required to sign documentation of the training and a promissory statement to uphold the rules and regulations related to patients privacy and security. This lesson would be taught and signed annually by all without exception.
