 Philosophers have suggested new ways of conceptualizing familiar privacy and confidentiality issues, pushing the topic of privacy and medicine into less traveled directions or novel frames. For example, it has been proposed that privacy and confidentiality in medical practice eschew the traditional imperative of individual patient autonomy in favor of a relational understanding that welcomes families and support networks into a confidential circle with patients and caregivers (Mohapatra and Wiley 2020). It has been proposed that traditional physician-patient confidentiality laws should be understood to impose potentially unwanted secrecy onto physicians, who bear burdens of silence they might prefer not to bear but are in effect coerced to bear by legal liability to do so (Allen, 2011).
