[Baracco, Andrew W]

They should designate at least one closed room as an interview room.

Dear Laura,

We will still have that issue if more than one of us is conducting
interviews; we have a pretty nice-sized building which we share with
another social service agency.  I don't know if they have any rooms they
don't use or not, but if the lease is just for so much space, I don't
know.

I do know one room is going to be divided--a door added that can be
closed; somebody might lose a little space, but I value my consumers'
privacy, and one never knows when something extremely sensitive will
come up besides their health information.

Darla,

Was your question about the consumer's privacy when you must meet with
her in such a public place?  I, too, would be very uncomfortable with
this.  In your agency, is there a conference room or another more
private area that you can give the consumers as an alternative?  I can
see that type of arrangement being problematic if you have agency staff
meeting with more than one consumer during a given time period at the
agency.

It may also be possible to get them to partition sections of the
computer (e.g., you'd have your own section, another user would have
theirs) and each person would have their own passworded user profile.
This way, consumers and/or other staff cannot access your stuff, or you
theirs. 
	Just some thoughts. 
	But I would sure think, especially with security issues, this
would be a real concern.

		I have had this concern since I began my new job as an
independent living specialist at the coalition for Independence in
Kansas City, Kansas. 

		  

		We are housed in pretty small cubes; when
clients/consumers meet with us, we meet in a lounge where other staff
and consumers can access computers. 

		  

		Today a consumer of mine with an MSW brought up that
very question to me, so I felt emboldened to bring it up with my
supervisor. 

		  

		What say you all?
