The question is whether clergy, who have received confidential medical information in their clerical capacity, have the same legal duty as medical professionals to protect its confidentiality. This ensures a patient can seek treatment for STDs, etc. without fear of their condition being revealed, so they will not forego treatment out of fear of scandal. If clergy are not included in the HIPPA act restrictions, they should be!
Sighco didn't mention any patient information being written on the card, only the phone numbers of the elders. That's probably not a HIPPA matter. But the answers to the questions do involve patient privacy, as Blondie said previously.
I'm surprised at one question that isn't there: "Do any relatives or next-of-kin oppose the no-blood policy?" I'll bet my name is written on the margins of some of those cards, noting my "opposer" and UBM status.
