Their responsibilities involve handling sensitive information, maintaining confidentiality, supporting clinical decision-making, and ensuring a secure hospital environment. This article explores the ethical obligations of these professionals, including patient confidentiality, data integrity, professional conduct, and legal compliance. Understanding and implementing these ethical responsibilities is essential for patient trust, hospital credibility, and the overall quality of healthcare services.
