Q Explain the difference between privacy and confidentiality? Why the healthcare system cannot operate effectively without releasing confidential information?
We often wrongly end up using the two terms interchangeably. However, there’s a distinct difference that exists between their meanings and applications. Privacy is the “state of being secluded” (S, 2018). For instance, a person could choose not to share something with absolutely anyone.
