Global patient privacy and confidentiality policies
Global policies are based on global data protection laws and common laws of confidentiality. Most of the write up here is quoted and borrowed from BMJ's stance published here: https://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/
• Any report/article that contains personal medical information about an identifiable living individual requires the patient's explicit consent before it can be shared open access publicly. We will need the patient to sign a consent form, which requires the patient to have read the article. The consent form is available in multiple languages and the author must ensure that the form is in a language that the patient understands.
• If consent cannot be obtained because the patient cannot be traced, then publication/logging toward sharing will be possible only if the information can be sufficiently anonymised. Anonymisation means that neither the patient nor anyone else could identify the patient. A consequence of any anonymisation is likely to be the loss of information/evidence. If this happens we will include the following note at the end of the paper: "Detail has been removed from this case description/these case descriptions to ensure anonymity. The authors/loggers are satisfied that the information shared here backs up the case the authors are making." Such anonymisation might, at an extreme, involve making the authors of the article anonymous.
• If the patient is dead, global data protection laws may not apply, but the authors should seek permission from a relative (as a matter of courtesy and medical ethics). If the relatives are not contactable the author/logger needs to balance the worthwhileness of the case, the likelihood of identification, and the likelihood of causing offence if identified, in making a decision on whether we should publish without a relative’s consent.
• Children- Parents or guardians can consent on their behalf but children aged between 7 and 18 must also sign the consent form in addition to the parent or guardian. For younger children, even if parents consent, authors should consider whether the child, when older, might regret publication of his or her identifiable details.
• Patients who lack capacity - If the patient lacks the mental capacity to make a decision about publication then usually no one can give consent on behalf of the patient. Even if someone has this power, by means, for example of a health and welfare power of attorney, it has to be exercised in the best interests of the patient
