Practice Environment


Maintain confidentiality with each patient.

 

Quality Improvement Activity Ideas

Practice documentation and IT system review

  • Review or create inclusive confidentiality policy or statement for practice. Ensure this is available upon registration.

    NB. This strategy and suggested QI activities link to Communication Skills: Give choice regarding documentation of next of kin, sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status in the health record and letters and ensure that information is treated confidentially.
