Patient-Privacy: When It Matters
When we think of healthcare and patient privacy there are a lot of questions that arise.
Patient privacy has moved well beyond being about professional ethics, policy, or law. Nonetheless, many people have concerns about their sensitive & personal healthcare data.
If you’ve ever asked any of the following questions then this book is for you:
Dr. Susan E. Mazer takes the reader through the most intimate nature of privacy, to the historical moments that inform us today, to the concept that patient privacy is elusive.
The data used in this study are the very words spoken by patients about their experiences and what mattered and continues to matter to them.
Today, in a world when public health, patient privacy, and individual civil liberties are in conflict with each other, understanding the inside of the lived experience that defines the boundaries between what is private and what is public, could not be more relevant.

The idea of privacy is a construct at the heart of our humanity. As Dr. Mazer notes, there is not one frame by which we all define or expect privacy, yet the needs and more so expectations of privacy, dignity, and respect, have consistently been identified as a top priority for people experiencing healthcare. This look at what matters is even more essential today when privacy takes on new meaning and even greater challenges.”
Dr. Susan Mazer offers a blueprint for deepening the understanding, of the phenomenon of privacy from patient’s themselves.
This deep exploration of privacy is guided by the author’s original research with patients. It comes at a pivotal point at this time in our history, where patient and hospital privacy is at the forefront and center.”
