As a health information professional, I must mmaintain the ethics and principles in performing my duties. I have to keep secure this data and try not to manipulate without voluntary consent of patient. This is my accountability.
I cannot tell my friend event though I am sure that she does not know this fact. It is patient’s privacy and I must give respect. According to the given information, I am not in condition to interfere the other people because I assume that they are not currently in emergency life threatening condition. I am also not incharge doctor for this patient’s treatment process.
So, for right to self determination, I have accountability to maintain the patient’s information and he has the right to maintain his autonomy.
For doing good and no harm to others, my actions must not harm to both patient and his family.
It is my obligation to keep the patient’s data secure as a professional
