How do you protect patient privacy in your daily work?
Read first: a sample answer
Fictional sample answer written by JoRoute to show the shape of a strong answer. Do not copy it: replace every detail with what is true for you.
I follow a few fixed habits to protect patient privacy and stay in compliance with HIPAA. I lock my screen every time I step away, discuss patients only in private areas and open only the records I need for my work. For example, when a relative called asking about a patient, I checked the patient's consent list first and found she was not on it, so I politely declined. Our 2023 privacy audit of my unit found no issues in my access logs.
