“…Confidentiality only refers to the protection of the informational—written or verbal—dimension. Because patients mostly refer to both elements as privacy, 18 and the terms are used interchangeable in nursing literature 19 and in literature concerning the bedside handover, 13,20 the term “privacy” will be used. Despite the difference in meaning, the impact of privacy and confidentiality on the use of bedside handovers in practice is exactly the same: they constitute an ethical hurdle to take.…”

Is privacy a problem during bedside handovers? A practice-oriented discussion paper

Bedside handover is the delivery of the nurse-to-nurse handover at the patient's bedside. Although increasingly used in nursing, nurses report many barriers for delivering the bedside handover. Among these barriers is the possibility of breaching the patient's privacy. By referring to this concept, nurses add a legal and ethical dimension to the delivery of the bedside handover, making implementation of the method difficult or even impossible. In this discussion article, the concept of privacy during handovers is being discussed by use of observations, interviews with nurses, and interviews with patients. These findings are combined with international literature from a narrative review on the topic. We provide a practiceoriented answer in which two mutually exclusive possibilities are discussed. If bedside handover does pose problems concerning privacy, this situation is not unique in healthcare and measures can be taken during the bedside handover to safeguard the patient. If bedside handover does not pose problems concerning privacy, privacy is misused by nurses to hide professional uncertainties and/or a reluctance toward patient participation. Therefore, a possible breach of privacy-whether a justified argument or not-is not a reason for not delivering the bedside handover.

“…However, as has been defined by privacy legislations such as HIPAA privacy rule, Data Privacy Rule UK, NSW Health Record Information Privacy Act and other legislations, health professionals can access patient data without explicit consent in medical emergencies(Win & Fulcher 2007;Win 2005;Sun et al 2011), and the healthcare provider is not forced to obtain patient consent to use or disclose such data for payment, treatment or healthcare operations(Murray, Calhoun & Philipsen 2011). The Digital Rights Management technique helps to provide patient consent in EHR systems(Chen, Lu & Jan 2012).…”

“…Arguably the most important piece of health care legislation of the 21st century, the ACA is only one of a myriad of mandates changing the practice of medicine and the overall health landscape. 27,28 Even more important than the knowledge of current and past laws and regulations, practitioners must learn to analyze, evaluate, and respond to these new legal and regulatory initiatives. They must understand the political process as it functions at the local, state, and national levels and know how to build and maintain coalitions to advocate for effective health policies.…”

"Population health" has come to describe an array of initiatives supporting new care and reimbursement models that reward health outcomes rather than volume of services. However, without a standard definition of population health and a comprehensive inventory of the core competencies and knowledge its practitioners must possess, ongoing efforts to address community health outcomes will be hampered. A literature search of peer-reviewed and gray literature, a curriculum scan of current graduate health programs, and an expert panel of industry stakeholders were conducted to develop a comprehensive curriculum framework that broadly defines population health. The result is a concept map consisting of 6 domains--3 knowledge and 3 skills--based-and subcategories. This article discusses the implications for teaching population health and the need for further scholarship to define the field from the point of view of health system leaders, academics, and others who need to hire health professionals with these skills.
