Scenario
Daisha Estrada is in the clinic today. While you are escorting your patient, an 85-year-old woman, out to the waiting room you and the patient overhear the lab tech and another nurse talking about Daisha’s lab results. They are discussing her vaginal smear coming back positive for gonorrhea. As you are escorting the elderly woman out to the waiting room she asks if gonorrhea is contagious. “Those two ladies in the hall were talking about having to report that woman’s lab result to the CDC. Wouldn’t you only be contacting the CDC if it was serious…can I get it from being here today?”
1. Explain how the Privacy Rule applies to reporting to the CDC?
2. Describe what the healthcare workers did wrong in the short scenario provided.
3. Describe what the healthcare workers should have done differently. What would be the most appropriate action to take when wanting to discuss a patient’s health status in a place such as the clinic?
4. What information is protected by Federal Law?
Homework Answers
1)The privacy rule in applying to reporting to the CDC should be done only when it can protect the health and wellness of the public .For instance when it comes to some contagious diseases it has to be reported so that the rate,outbreaks ,statistics,trends in how it spreads can be collected. These data will be helpful to prevent any future outbreak
2)The healthcare worker has violated the law by discussing it where it has to be reported to the concerned professional.The mistake which they did was talking or discussing it in a place where others especially patients can hear it.
3)The healthcare worker should have discussed this in a closed are and not where a patient can overhear the conversation. Reporting has to be done.The patient has to be given an assurance that her health is not in danger.All the precautions has been taken to provide her a quality health.
4)The federal law protects the health information ,heslth record or health data of the patients (This includes protecting all the basic ,perdonal and confidential things)
