In histology, confidentiality is maintained through several practices:
De-identification of samples: Removing patient identifiers from tissue samples to prevent tracing back to the individual. Secure storage: Using locked cabinets and secure digital systems to store samples and data. Access control: Limiting access to authorized personnel only, using passwords and biometric systems. Encryption of digital data: Ensuring that electronic health records and images are encrypted. Regular audits: Conducting periodic checks to ensure compliance with confidentiality policies.
