1.Common terms in plain language
The patients are not normally familiar with the technical medical terms and other codes used in the healthcare. So writing the letter to the patient in common terms in plain language can help the patient to better understand and avoid any confusion.
2.Programmed
Computers and Internet have revolutionized the way and speed at we share information. The computers can be programmed so that we can communicate with others in the facility or even at a distant location so that the information shared can be used for the benefit of the patients.
3. Protected health care information can be disclosed only for the purposes of treatment, payment, or operations.
Health information of a patient is his/her private information which should be dealt with high confidentiality. This information is necessary for the clinicians and insurance personnel to provide appropriate care to the patient. So HIPAA requires the information should be made available only to those people who directly treat the patients or deal with payments or operative procedures and not to be shared with others.
4.Physical needs such as food and water
According to Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs the physiological needs such as food, water, rest I placed at the most basic level because these are the most basic requirements for the survival of any organism not only man.
