Patient privacy refers to the right of individuals to have their personal health information kept confidential and protected from unauthorized access. It is a fundamental aspect of healthcare that ensures patients can trust their healthcare providers, fostering open communication and adherence to treatment plans. The importance of patient privacy has grown in the digital age, as healthcare increasingly relies on electronic health records (EHRs) and telehealth services.
