Medical records privacy refers to the protection of patients' personal and health information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. It ensures that sensitive medical data is kept confidential and is only shared with individuals or entities who have the legal right or patient consent to access it. This is often governed by laws and regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States.
