Biomarker Confidentiality Protocols

Meaning

Biomarker Confidentiality Protocols are the established, formal procedural safeguards implemented to ensure the privacy and security of an individual’s specific, measurable biological indicators, such as detailed hormone assays or complex genetic data. These protocols govern the entire process of collecting, storing, transmitting, and securely disposing of sensitive physiological data throughout the patient’s clinical engagement. Maintaining strict confidentiality is a fundamental ethical requirement for clinical practice and is essential for upholding the patient-physician trust relationship.
