Othandizira ndi omwe ali ndi inshuwalansi zaumoyo sangathe kufotokoza zomwe mukudziŵa nokha pokhapokha ngati munthu akusowa chidziwitso chifukwa akukugwiritsani ntchito, akukonzekera malipiro a chisamaliro chanu, kapena chidziwitso ndi chofunikira kuti atsogolere ntchito zothandizira.
Izi zikutanthauza anamwino sangathe kukambirana za odwala kuchipatala kumene angamve. Dokotala wanu sangathe kufotokoza zambiri zokhudza chisamaliro chanu kwa wokondedwa wanu kapena mtsogoleri wanu wa mpingo pokhapokha mutachipatsa. Ngati mnzanu akuitanira kuchipatala kuti awone momwe mukuchitira opaleshoni yanu, pokhapokha mutapereka chilolezo chanu kuchipatala kuti mudziwe zambiri zokhudza oitanidwa, woipayo sadzapeza zambiri.
Olemba zaumoyo amaloledwa kugawana uthenga wanu wathanzi wotetezedwa ngati kuli kofunikira kuti muwathandize ntchito zaumoyo. Nazi zitsanzo zingapo:
- Mazipatala amafunika kuti achite nawo ntchito zowonjezera ndi kuwongolera. Ngakhale kuti namwino wothandizira ubwino sagwire ntchito yanu mukakhala m'chipatala ndi matenda a chibayo, amapeza mbiri yanu yachipatala kuti mudziwe zambiri za momwe kafukufuku akuyendera momwe mwamsanga odwala kuchipatala ali ndi chibayo amalandira mankhwala awo oyambirira.

Tsiku la dokotala wanu, Sandy, woimira wogulitsa pulogalamu yatsopano, akugwira ntchito ndi ogwira ntchito kuofesi kuti awathandize kuphunzira pulogalamuyi. Pamene Sandy amagwira ntchito ndi namwino wa ofesi, adzawona zambiri zaumoyo wanu zokhudzana ndi zaumoyo kuti alowe mu chida chatsopano cha zamankhwala. Ayenera kuonetsetsa kuti namwino akugwiritsa ntchito pulogalamuyo molondola. Komabe, popeza Sandy ndi wothandizira bizinesi ya wothandizira zaumoyo wanu, amamangidwa ndi malamulo ausungwana a HIPAA ndipo ayenera kusunga chidziwitso cha thanzi chokhazikika chomwe amachibisa.
Kupatulapo kuulamuliro wachinsinsi
