Changing practice on confidentiality: a cause for concern. Commentary 2: Confidentially speaking

M Green. J Med Ethics. 1982 Mar.

Abstract

KIE: Elaborating on the concept of confidentiality of medical records and interdisciplinary communication discussed in earlier articles by D.J. Kenny and Derek F.H. Pheby, the author expresses concern about written communications to professional colleagues and verbal revelations to colleagues or to persons outside the therapeutic team. He discusses special ethical conflicts involving disclosure of dangerous physical or psychiatric conditions to third parties.
