  13. PatientPrivacy Patient Information is Confidential • Our Commitment To Confidentiality. The healthcare industry takes confidentiality very seriously. • It's about building relationships. Patients will not share personal information unless they can trust the provider and its employees to keep that information confidential. • It's about providing quality healthcare. Medical treatment has a better chance of success when patients have full trust in both their healthcare provider and facility • It's about the law. Recent legislation imposes large fines and possible criminal prosecution for both healthcare organizations and their employees in the event that guidelines provided to protect confidentiality are not followed. You can be held personally responsible for breaches of confidentiality!
