13. Legal and ethical requirements are required to be upheld by the AHA to provide a code of conduct that attempts to maintain a high standard of professionalism, safety and ethics to all those individuals seeking treatment and assistance from a health professional. Define the following in terms of providing care as an AHA: a) Privacy The Privacy Act 1988 provides protection for clients, regulating how health organisations collect and handle their clients personal and health information. As an allied health professional, it is important that you maintain the privacy of your clients according to the Privacy Act and your organisations policies and procedures. b) Confidentiality This means collecting only the required information to perform the service, allowing the client to choose how the information they shared is used, storing information securely, and not sharing information without the clients consent. c) Disclosure Disclosure is a process healthcare professionals communicate with patients, their carers, and families when a patient has experienced harm during their health care. It is important to inform patients when healthcare does not go to plan and an injury or harm occurs. If harm or injury occurs, follow your organisations procedures when managing incidents; provide apologies and an explanation of what happened and the consequences for the patient and give an opportunity for the patient to relay their experience and explanation of what steps can be followed so the same thing doesn't occur again. d) Duty of Care As an allied health professional, it is an obligation to provide appropriate care to meet your clients’ needs and to ensure they are not exposed to unnecessary risk. The methods and interventions you use in standard care are required to meet your duty of care and can vary from client to client. It is expected to only take action within your boundaries in the healthcare system that is appropriate by the average person in your position and with your skill level. Failing to do this can be seen as negligence, whether any harm has been caused or not Document title: LA025594_HLTAHA003 HLTAHA005_AE1of5_Kn_1of 5 Page 13 of 14 Resource ID: STUDENT NAME:
