If a member of the community clergy requests a religion census list, what should be done?

When a member of the community clergy requests a religion census list, the appropriate action is to refer them to the Spiritual Care and Values Integration Department. This ensures that sensitive information is handled in compliance with privacy regulations and institutional policies. The Spiritual Care and Values Integration Department is equipped to manage such requests in a manner that respects patient confidentiality and adheres to ethical standards.

Providing the list directly could violate privacy protocols and compromise patient confidentiality. Ignoring the request does not reflect a commitment to community engagement and support, while asking for personal identification may not be appropriate or necessary in this context. Referring the clergy member to the appropriate department maintains professionalism and ensures that requests are processed correctly.
