Policies
Confidentiality
Patient confidentiality is a quality standard that all employees of Santa Monica Nutrition are expected to uphold. It is one of our core values. Our registered dietitians and staff are bound by California law not to disclose confidential medical information about a patient without the patient's consent, except to meet a serious danger to the patient or others. This means we will not disclose information about your care or treatment to anyone unless there is a serious danger to you or someone else. Additionally, we cannot discuss your care with friends, family or the public without your consent. Our medical records are continuously locked when not in use. All employees sign a yearly confidentiality statement, giving us a chance to review this issue regularly.Please be assured we take patient confidentiality seriously, as our profession and ethics necessitate.
