Question

Which of the following situations violate a patient's privacy? Question 2 options: A) The hospital provides patient names and addresses to a pharmaceutical company to be used in a mass mailing of free drug samples. B) The physician on the quality improvement committee reviews medical records for potential quality problems. C) The hospital sends patients who are scheduled for deliveries information on free childbirth classes. D) The hospital uses aggregate data to determine whether or not to add a new operating room suite.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

A) The hospital provides patient names and addresses to a pharmaceutical company to be used in a mass mailing of free drug samples.

In the above case hospital is violating patient privacy by providing personal details of patient without their consent. They may not like to receive mails about free drug samples which is irrelevant to them. Releasing name and address will be inappropriate if it is not used appropriately by company members.
