| Was this response problematic with regard to ethics, professionalism, or the client’s treatment program? |
Yes, even though the grandmother is related, she is not part of the supervisee’s typical team and should not share information regarding the student’s progress without explicit approval from the mother. |
Yes. Confidentiality was not maintained and predicting outcomes is also an ethical concern. Also, forecasting outcomes damages credibility and rapport with the caregivers. |
| When/how might feedback be delivered by the supervisor? |
As soon as possible. Upon recognition of the problem, the supervisor can discuss PHI and when and how it is appropriate to share. Later, the supervisor and supervisee can go over case studies with similar examples. |
During the supervision meeting the supervisor might review the ethics codes that were violated and provide modeling/rehearsal/feedback of how to respond in that situation for the future |
| What types of additional training might improve this supervisee’s performance? |
Medical information training, how to address questions from people that do not have rights to the client’s information |
HIPAA rules, how to respond to difficult questions, how to approach unexpected scenarios in the field, limitations of forecasting outcomes |
