- W2275255103 abstract "Psychiatrist reveals patients' information to another patient Alameda County (CA) Superior Court For several years 2 female patients were treated by the same psychiatrist. Jane Doe, age 56, read a breach of confidentiality report alleging sexual abuse filed by another patient of the psychiatrist. Jane Doe contacted the alleged victim, who informed her that the psychiatrist had disclosed information to her (the victim) regarding Jane Doe's treatment, emotional problems, sexual preferences, and medication regimen. Susan Doe, age 64, learned of the sexual abuse accusations against the psychiatrist in the same way and also contacted the alleged victim. She told Susan Doe that the psychiatrist had disclosed to her Susan Doe's personal information regarding her difficult relationship with her daughter, depression, and instances when she stormed out of counseling sessions. The patients brought separate claims, and their cases were later consolidated. The psychiatrist denied that he told the alleged sexual abuse victim details of the 2 patients' treatments. The patients claimed that the victim could not have known their personal details unless the psychiatrist had told her. * A jury returned a verdict in favor of the 2 patients. Jane Doe was awarded $225,000, and Susan Doe was awarded $47,000. Dr. Grant's observations In the case of Jane Doe and Susan Doe, disclosing a patient's personal information to another patient violates confidentiality. Patients must consent to the disclosure of information to third parties, and in this case these 2 patients apparently did not provide consent. Medical practice--and particularly psychiatric practice--is based on the principle that communications between clinicians and patients are The Hippocratic oath states, Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private. (1) According to the American Association's (APA) code of ethics, Psychiatric records, including even the identification of a person as a patient, must be protected with extreme care. Confidentiality is essential to psychiatric treatment, in part because of the special nature of psychiatric therapy. A psychiatrist may release confidential information only with the patient's authorization or under proper legal compulsion. (2) Doctor-patient confidentiality is rooted in the belief that potential disclosure of information communicated during psychiatric diagnosis and treatment would discourage patients from seeking medical and mental health care (Table, page 44). When to disclose There are circumstances, however, that override the requirement to maintain confidentiality and do not need a patient's consent. Examples include: (3) Duty to protect third parties. In 1976 the California Supreme Court ruled in the landmark Tarasoff case (4) that a psychiatrist has a duty to do what is reasonably necessary to protect third parties if a patient presents a serious risk of violence to another person. The specific applications of this principle are governed by other states' laws, which have extended or limited this duty. (5) Be familiar with the law in your jurisdiction before disclosing confidential information to third parties who may be at risk of violence. The APA's position on this exception is consistent with legal standards. Its code of ethics states, When, in the clinical judgment of the treating psychiatrist, the risk of danger is deemed to be significant, the psychiatrist may reveal confidential information disclosed by the patient. (6) Emergency release of information. Psychiatrists can release confidential information during a medical emergency. Releasing the information must be in the patient's best interests, and the patient's inability to consent to the release should be the result of a potentially reversible condition that leads the clinician to question the patient's capacity to consent. …" @default.
