It is the responsibility of all Chong Hua Hospital workforce, including employees, medical staff, house staff, interns, fellows contracted medical staff and volunteers, to preserve and protect the confidential patient, employee and business information.

The Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines (Article III Section 3), Civil Code of the Philippines (Article 19, Article 26), Revised Penal Code of the Philippines on revelation of secrets and the rule on doctor-patient confidentiality govern the release of patient identifiable information by hospitals and other health care providers. All of these laws establish protections to preserve the confidentiality of various medical and personal information and specify that such information may not be disclosed except as authorized by law or the patient or individual.

Confidential Patient Care Information includes: Any individually identifiable information regarding a patient’s medical history, mental, or physical condition or treatment, as well as the patient’s records, test results, conversations, research records and financial information. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Physical medical and psychiatric records including paper, photo, video, diagnostic and therapeutic reports, laboratory and pathology samples;
• Patient insurance and billing records;
• Mainframe and department based computerized patient data and alphanumeric radio pager messages;
• Visual observation of patients receiving medical care or accessing services; and
• Verbal information provided by or about a patient

I hereby understand and acknowledge that:

1. I shall respect and maintain the confidentiality of all patient laboratory results, care records and any other information generated in connection with individual patient care, risk management and/or peer review activities;
2. It is my legal and ethical responsibility to protect the privacy, confidentiality and security of all medical records, proprietary information and other confidential information relating to Chong Hua Hospital and its affiliates, including business, employment and medical information relating to our patients, members, employees and health care providers.
3. I shall only access or disseminate patient care information in the performance of my assigned duties and where required by or permitted by law, and in a manner which is consistent with officially adopted policies of Chong Hua Hospital only with the express approval of my supervisor or designee. I shall make no voluntary disclosure of any discussion, deliberations, patient care records or any other patient care, peer review or risk management information, except to persons authorized to receive it in the conduct of Chong Hua Hospital’s healthcare affairs.
4. I agree to discuss confidential information only in the work place and only for job related purposes and to not discuss such information outside of the work place or within hearing of other people who do not have a need to know about the information.
5. My obligation to safeguard patient confidentiality continues after my termination of deployment with Chong Hua Hospital.

I hereby acknowledge that I have read and understand the foregoing information and that my signature below signifies my agreement to comply with the above terms. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the Confidentiality Agreement, I acknowledge that Chong Hua Hospital may, as applicable and as it deems appropriate, pursue disciplinary action and/or file the appropriate civil and criminal case against me including the termination of my deployment.

This responsibility of confidentiality shall continue even after the completion of my deployment with Chong Hua Hospital.
