In this LearnScape, the student is the head of Information Technology (IT) Services. When test results for an upstanding member of the community come back as positive for Syphilis, the student is presented with some ethical decision-making challenges based on laws requiring that the results to be reported to the state Public Health Department versus the ethics of patient/physician confidentiality.
While this scenario is a dramatization of case involving ethical and legal dilemmas facing an IT director, it emphasizes the need for organizations to maintain strict confidentiality of the private health information of their clients in accordance with applicable laws and regulations while being conscious of the ethical implications. This also provides students with an opportunity to properly classify the internal data and resulting information that is the focus of this scenario.
Based on their observations, in the scenario, students will identify risks to client confidentiality and privacy, and then formulate specific actions the organization should undertake to mitigate these risks in the future. In addition, the students should provide a rationale to support their recommendations.
