When can a professional disclose client information during a review?

1. When conducting a hospital-sanctioned review only

2. When involved in a professional review committee under specific legal sections

3. When requested by any public member

4. Whenever information is shared by another client

The correct answer is: When involved in a professional review committee under specific legal sections

During a review, professionals are only allowed to disclose client information if they are involved in a professional review committee and under specific legal sections. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the necessary protocols for protecting client confidentiality. Option A only allows disclosure during a hospital-sanctioned review, while option C suggests disclosing client information to any public member, which could potentially violate a client's trust and privacy. Option D is also incorrect as it suggests sharing information based on another client's disclosure, which is not an acceptable practice in protecting client confidentiality. Therefore, the most appropriate and legal way for a professional to disclose client information during a review is when involved in a professional review committee and under specific legal sections.
