What you are referring to are a set of laws derived from the Health Information Privacy and Portability Act, commonly called HIPPA. Essentially, these laws are designed to protect the privacy of patients. They prohibit healthcare personnel from sharing any patient information without express, written consent from the patient, including sharing with another medical professional. This includes test results, health or medication histories, and even x-rays. It even prohibits healthcare workers from discussing patients' information with his/her workers or with anyone else. (So, for example, a nurse cannot go home and tell his/her friend that 'Jim from HEB' has hepatitis. In theory, anyway. but I'm sure this business goes on.) This is why patients must sign a release form prior to becoming a patient in any healthcare facility. Hope that helps.

Is it illegal to obtain confidential patient information by deceit?
There are many laws and regulations regarding the protection of patients' medical information. Whether or not it is an offence to obtain such information depends on the jurisdiction you are in, whether you have a professional relationship with the patient or are otherwise regulated regarding access to data, the intended use of the information and the nature of the deceit. A health care professional obtaining data by deceit may well be in breach of professional and state rules. A researcher without any professional qualification or position asking for information may well be acting within the law even if the the use of the data might not be moral. Indeed, even though the deceit may be by someone seeking information, it is often the person who passes out the information who will fall foul of the relevant data protection laws. Every case needs to be judged individually and professional legal advice may be needed to arrive at a considered opinion.
