How patient information is released to family/friends

How patient information is released to family/friends
As a nurse, it’s important to keep patient information private and only share it with the other health care team members that are directly involved in their care. It’s also extremely important to ask the patient who may listen, know, hear, or be included in their decisions when they are admitted and document this information.

Good points Amanda. Does your organization have a system of how patient information is released to family/friends of patients that have a right to know?
