CIPT Exam - Question 128


SCENARIO -

Please use the following to answer the next question:

Light Blue Health (LBH) is a healthcare technology company developing a new web and mobile application that collects personal health information from electronic patient health records. The application will use machine learning to recommend potential medical treatments and medications based on information collected from anonymized electronic health records. Patient users may also share health data collected from other mobile apps with the LBH app.

The application requires consent from the patient before importing electronic health records into the application and sharing it with their authorized physicians or healthcare provider. The patient can then review and share the recommended treatments with their physicians securely through the app. The patient user may also share location data and upload photos in the app. The patient user may also share location data and upload photos in the app for a healthcare provider to review along with the health record. The patient may also delegate access to the app.

LBH's privacy team meets with the Application development and Security teams, as well as key business stakeholders on a periodic basis. LBH also implements

Privacy by Design (PbD) into the application development process.

The Privacy Team is conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to evaluate privacy risks during development of the application. The team must assess whether the application is collecting descriptive, demographic or any other user related data from the electronic health records that are not needed for the purposes of the application. The team is also reviewing whether the application may collect additional personal data for purposes for which the user did not provide consent.

Regarding the app, which action is an example of a decisional interference violation?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The app asking for income level to determine the treatment of care is an example of decisional interference. This is because income level should not influence the medical treatment a patient receives, and basing treatment decisions on income can unfairly impact a patient's access to appropriate healthcare. Decisional interference involves actions that affect an individual's freedom to make decisions about their personal affairs, and considering income level in medical treatment decisions falls into this category.

Decisional interference is an action by an external party, such as a government or the commercial entity, that interferes with an individual’s decision-making regarding their personal affairs. Inaccurate data can lead to decisional interference. Including cross-checks for accuracy when information is transferred from a manual form into an electronic form, ensuring that backup storage mechanisms allow for updating information and including individuals in the review of their information are all crucial steps privacy technologists can take to ensure information is accurate and current, thus minimizing the risk of privacy harm.

D. The app asks questions during account set-up to disclose family medical history that is not necessary for the treatment of the individual's symptoms. Explanation: Decisional interference occurs when an app requests or uses personal information that affects an individual's choices or decisions beyond what is necessary for the primary purpose of the app. Asking for family medical history not necessary for treatment affects the individual's decision-making and is an example of decisional interference. A. The app asks income level to determine the treatment of care involves using income level to tailor recommendations or treatments. While this could raise ethical and privacy concerns, it does not directly interfere with the individual's ability to make their own decisions in a manner that would be considered decisional interference.
