Changing practice on confidentiality: a cause for concern.D. F. Pheby - 1982 - Journal of Medical Ethics 8 (1):12-18.details The dissemination of information about patients through computers and multidisciplinary teams involves departures from traditional tenets of confidentiality. This raises ethical problems, exemplified by current practices in child health. In multidisciplinary teams, problems may arise because different professions utilise different types of data. Some team members may not appreciate the extent to which data may be unscientific and judgmental. Children and thier families may be labelled, without justification, preventing objective reappraisal. The ethical and legal implications are considered. Practice may not (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation

Involved in a custody battle, he feared that if his records were released to the court he could lose custody (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
A challenge to unqualified medical confidentiality.Alexander Bozzo - 2017 - Journal of Medical Ethics 44:medethics-2017-104359.details Medical personnel sometimes face a seeming conflict between a duty to respect patient confidentiality and a duty to warn or protect endangered third parties. The conventional answer to dilemmas of this sort is that, in certain circumstances, medical professionals have an obligation to breach confidentiality. Kenneth Kipnis has argued, however, that the conventional wisdom on the nature of medical confidentiality is mistaken. Kipnis argues that the obligation to respect patient confidentiality is unqualified or absolute, since unqualified policies can save more (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
