ALNC CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT...


A tradition has existed to maintain confidential communications between physician, nurse and patient for a very long time. In fact, Legal Nurse Consulting Principles and Practices, state that this confidentiality between physician and patient has been an accepted practice since Hippocrates:

"Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life of men, in my attendance on the sick, or even apart there from, which ought not be noised abroad, I will keep silence thereon, counting such things to be as sacred secrets"

The right to confidential communications also extends to the written record and includes unauthorized release of information. The Supreme Court has determined that this is guaranteed to each individual per by the U.S. Constitution. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, known as HIPPA, guaranteed even further security and privacy of health information. HIPPA also requires that all healthcare clients are informed by us of the right to client information privacy, which we now do.

Beyond HIPPA guidelines, ALNC is bound by the professional standards set forth by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the American Bar Association (ABA). ALNC vows to always protect your right to privacy and confidentiality. 

All personal client information is restricted to only Advanced Legal Nurse Consultants, Inc and its affiliates. At your direction and with your permission other parties may be allowed access to that information to help service your case. However, they remain bound by the same regulations and professional standards of ALNC, ANA and the ABA. 

ALNC has set up and maintains procedurals safeguards for the handling of your physical and electronic information. Even if at some point in time, you cease to be our client, we will continue to be bound by those codes and regulations listed above. We will always strive to earn the trust you place in our company.
