The MGH launched a campaign promoting patient confidentiality last week, reminding employees, staff, patients and visitors about the hospital’s patient confidentiality policies. The campaign was highlighted during National Health Information Management Week Nov. 4 to 10, which was recognized with information tables in the Main Corridor and near the Eat Street Cafe.

Featuring the theme "Caring for Patients While Respecting Their Privacy," the campaign includes e-mails, posters, fliers, presentations at hospitalwide meetings, education training sessions and articles in hospital publications.
