Because patient information is highly confidential, it is important those working in health informatics to understand why this is confidential and must be kept. Confidentiality safeguards information that is gathered in the context of an intimate relationship. It addresses the issue of how to keep information exchanged in that relationship from being disclosed to third parties.
