Amy was just hired by a dermatologist. The office manager gave Amy a booklet listing the facility's policies and procedures. Amy reads:
Team member's must use and disclose only the minimum amount of
identifiable patient information to fulfill the team member's function, regardless
of the extent of access provided. This policy covers uses and disclosures of
protected health information in any form, including oral, written, and/or
electronic mediums. Each team member is responsible for adhering to this
policy by using only the minimum information necessary to perform his or her
responsibilities, regardless of the extent of access provided or available.
Explain what this policy is saying in your own words and give the reason this policy
likely exists. (1 point)
