Purpose and Question:


General purpose:
Individuals benefiting from health care services preserve the right to protection of personal information. Though privacy and confidentiality are synonymous, their meanings are different in the healthcare context. While privacy means whatever the doctor writes about the patient is kept secret, confidentiality refers to a set of rules that guarantees the secrecy of whatever is discussed between a patient and a physicist.

Patient’s satisfaction is measured on the basis of confidentiality, satisfaction with the services, prior informed consent, and privacy
