Ask the legal expert: Can we limit disclosures that breach our privacy policy?
We tell our employees that they may not speak to the media about our infection rates (including COVID-19 rates) or other caregiving or sensitive matters. This would include disclosing health information about specific residents. Yet, someone keeps leaking information out and the information does not always put us in a good light. Can we limit disclosures that breach our privacy policy? Also, can we take action against such employees?
