Cheyne K. 2017. Webinar on consent and confidentiality. [Des Moines, IA]: Iowa CoIIN (Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network) on School-based Health Services; Blank Children's Hospital Unity Point Health, 58 m 17 s.

Annotation: This webinar on consent and confidentiality issues for adolescent health care providers features Dr. Ken Cheyne, medical director of Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. Cheyne discusses seven different hypothetical cases dealing with issues of confidentiality in adolescent and young adult healthcare. The examples illustrate how health practitioners and clinics can use policies and personal approaches when dealing with young people and their parents, while also keeping in mind the ethical and legal requirements of consent and confidentiality. These examples are somewhat specific to the state of Iowa, as they cite what is mandated by Iowa code, but can also be helpful to practitioners in other states.
