Type: article
Abstract: Protecting the privacy of individuals and respecting their rights has been recognized as an important concept and a basic need in human life. To protect the privacy of patient information and prevent information disclosure, hospital managers and officials must implement new approaches to minimize the risk of patient privacy. Healthcare and medical management ensures and maintains human health, respects the rights and privacy of patients, and responds to a fundamental and ongoing human need. It is also a very important issue that its true blessing and fruitfulness depend on the integration of those services with moral values and human virtues. This integration leads to the satisfaction of God and the provision of people's needs in an appropriate manner and towards human perfection; In this regard, discussing the application of professional ethics in the health and medical sector, especially in its management system and in order to respect the rights of patients, is undoubtedly a necessary and worthy step. The truth is that ethical characteristics must appear in human behavior in order to increase ethical values. In this way, the spirit of service and godliness will replace egoism and selfishness arising from ego and self-centeredness. Based on a review of the relevant scientific literature, this article provides an overview of the concept of ethics and patient privacy and examines the role of health and medical management in hospitals in this category.
