Patient confidentiality and privacy are of utmost importance in nursing practice. I strictly adhere to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. I ensure that patient information is only shared on a need-to-know basis and in a secure manner. I maintain confidentiality during conversations, protect electronic medical records with passwords, and follow protocols to maintain the privacy of patient information. Respecting and safeguarding patient confidentiality is a non-negotiable aspect of my professional practice.
