INSIDE THE HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM - PROTECT YOUR MEDICAL PRIVACY (PART 2)
To provide top-notch medical care, doctors need complete access to the most sensitive matters—drug use, sexual habits, etc. We need our patients to trust that their secrets will remain secret. If a young man doesn't feel comfortable telling a doctor he's gay, for example, then the doctor may misjudge the significance of a symptom, order the wrong tests, miss diagnoses and the opportunity to treat.
Until legal loopholes that allow unauthorized dissemination of medical information are closed, how can you minimize your risk? I recommend several strategies:
Never sign a blanket disclosure form. Before agreeing to the release of your medical records, make sure you know who will be allowed to see them, which information they'll be given access to and what they need the information for.
Remind your doctor that your information must not be shared with anyone without your consent.
