   When I write my essay, I begin by explaining the nature of confidentiality. When something is confidential, it means that the information in question is made private and secret. It is not for everyone’s perusal and consumption. Documents regarding a person such as a personal file, a school file or a medical record are some examples of confidential records

   When I write my essay, I can also explain the nature of a medical record. For the sake of defining the term, a medical record is a documentation of a patient’s medical history. It includes a list of illnesses had, treatments received and other medical procedures that a person has been through. This also includes surgeries undergone and may also contain results from different tests taken.

   When I write my essay, I can talk about the ethics that come with the privacy of medical records. The most common debate concerning the privacy of medical records is the ownership of the records. There are people who say that it is the patient who owns the records because he or she is the person concerned. Ownership of medical records vary from country to country. For example, in the United States, a patient owns his or her medical record while in the United Kingdom, medical records belong to the Department of Health. There is also the issue of accessibility to records. Is it just the patient and the doctor or are third parties allowed to look at medical records when needed for legal purposes or governmental purposes?

   When I write my essay, I can include my own opinion on this issue to add more depth and insight to my essay. I can talk about who I think is the owner of a medical record since ownership varies from country to country. I can share my thoughts on this matter so that it will make my essay a more dynamic one.
