Description/Abstract:
THE QUESTION OF WHO IS ENTITLED TO VIEW THE PERSONAL MEDICAL FILES OF PATIENTS IS ADDRESSED IN THIS ARTICLE. A DOCTOR MAY DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT A PATIENT TO MEDICAL RESEARCH WORKERS WITHOUT THE PATIENT'S CONSENT. THE INFORMATION MUST BE PASSED, UNDER THE SEAL OF CONFIDENCE, ONLY TO MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION, OR TO NON- MEDICAL PEOPLE COLLABORATING WITH MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS OR SPECIALLY AUTHORIZED BY A MEDICAL COMMITTEE TO RECEIVE THE INFORMATION. THE OVERALL CONSIDERATION IS THAT THIS FLOW OF INFORMATION WILL NOT DISTRESS THE INDIVIDUAL OR HIS OR HER FAMILY.
