Confidentiality
The confidentiality of all information concerning patients and other guests is of the utmost importance at Sunrise Haven. The ethical standards upheld by Christian Science nurses and all staff derive from the teachings of Christian Science, which maintain the confidential relationship between Christian Science nurse and patient as well as between Christian Science practitioner and patient.
Maintaining confidentiality is also a federal law known as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996). This law requires that all organizations, such as Sunrise Haven, protect the privacy of patients in a variety of ways. We adhere to the letter and spirit of this law. Upon admittance to Sunrise Haven, a patient will be asked to review and sign the document, “Sunrise Haven Patient Privacy Information/HIPAA Privacy Notice,” which describes how information regarding the services received at Sunrise Haven may be used and disclosed to others.
Accommodations
