Summary: | With the need of highly developed technologies to enhance the heath industry dawns the need for local and international principles, ethics and laws for healthcare to regulate the different actions and operations related to patients' sensitive data. Particularly, with the multiplicity of healthcare actors and organizations involved in patients' care, protecting patients' privacy from possible violation or invasion becomes a complicated task. Particularly, when each of these actors suggests his own privacy policy to regulate the different actions related to patients' data. In this paper, we first compare some of the most known privacy laws and regulations for healthcare. The aim is to show the importance of these laws in preventing possible conflicts among privacy policies. A case study is presented showing how these laws can be considered during a conflict resolution process. |
