One of the biggest ethical issues that healthcare professionals are facing is patient confidentiality, there are some gray areas and that can lead to some ethical violations. Patient confidentiality is when the facility will not disclose your personal information unless they have specific permission for the release. One of the gray areas is when a person calls the office and says they are treating your patient no signed forms are needed as long as you only share information that is relevant to the other physician's treatment.
