Medical confidentiality

• What's confidential

  The fact of consultation, diagnosis, tests, prognosis — everything learned through duties.

• To the patient — everything

  Full health information; extracts and copies — on request, free or at cost.

• Exceptions

  Court, investigation, threat to third parties' lives, epidemic safety — only cases defined by law.

• To parents & relatives

  Under 14 — to parents; 14–18 — with the child's consent; an adult's relatives — only with consent.

Even 'is there such a patient with you' is already confidential. A work chat about a patient without a name is better but still risky; train staff: no data outside the system.
