Chapter 18, Scenario 2

Review the clinical scenario presented and respond to questions.

A staff member has been exposed to blood through a workplace accident and was tested for HIV through the Employee Health Department. The Information System allows access by all staff to all registered patients. This employee then is able to look up her own test results. Is this ethical? Is looking just as harmful to the staff member as not looking? Is this allowed under hospital policy? What do HIPAA regulations say about this issue?
