C-26, r. 243 - Code of ethics of the members of the Ordre professionnel des technologistes médicaux du Québec
Section 26.1
Disposition versions
26.1. A medical technologist may communicate information that is protected by professional secrecy to prevent an act of violence, including a suicide, where the medical technologist has reasonable cause to believe that there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to a person or an identifiable group of persons.
However, the medical technologist may only communicate the information to a person exposed to the danger or that person’s representative, or to the persons who can come to that person’s aid. The medical technologist may only communicate such information as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is communicated.
If it is in the best interests of the person or persons exposed to the danger, the medical technologist shall consult another member of the order, a member of another professional order or any other qualified person provided the consultation will not prejudicially delay the communication of the information.
