Document Summary
Documentation: anything written or electronically generated that describes the status of a patient, the care or service given to that patient. Documentation within a patient health care is very important in nursing practice. Confidentiality: must be maintained despite the fact that the transfer of patient information occurs through verbal reports, written documents, or electronic transfer. Any patient information cannot be discussed with other patients, any staff that is not involved in the patient"s care, or even family members. These rules apply to all health care workers throughout ontario and to individuals and organizations that receive personal health information from health care workers. This impacts health care workers because they must obtain consent before they collect, use or disclose personal information, as well as ensure they do not disclose such information to those who are not in the health care settings. Lo 15. 1: define multidisciplinary communication within the health care team. Communication amongst health care workers must be effective.
