Best Practices for Using Open Source Files/Software (from OSI and compliance guides):

- Review terms: Read full license before use; e.g., check copyleft obligations [Open Source Best Practices; TermsFeed Guide].

- Track components: Use Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to inventory OSS; tools like FOSSA help [FOSSA Developer's Guide].

- Attribute correctly: Include notices in distributions; e.g., add LICENSE file [Linux Foundation Guide].

- Comply with obligations: For GPL, share source if distributing binaries; avoid mixing incompatible licenses [Black Duck Blog].

- Minimize modifications: Use as-is to reduce compliance burden [KO Best Practices].

- Policy creation: Establish internal guidelines for OSS approval and audits [freeCodeCamp Guide].

- Application: In a project, scan for vulnerabilities and ensure attribution to avoid legal risks [LinkedIn 13 Practices].

Key Public Patents Guidelines Summary with Citations:

- Searching Patents: Use USPTO Patent Public Search (web-based tool replacing legacy systems); steps: 1) Brainstorm keywords; 2) Basic search with terms; 3) Advanced search with Boolean operators/classifications; 4) Review classifications (CPC/USPC); 5) Check foreign/non-patent literature [USPTO Multi-Step Strategy; Patent Public Search Tool].

- Determining Public Domain: Patents expire ~20 years from filing (post-1995 US utility patents); search by date in USPTO/Google Patents. Use WIPO's three-stage process: 1) Identify invention elements; 2) Search patent databases; 3) Analyze claims/expiry [WIPO Public Domain Guide; USPTO Search].

- Using Public Domain Patents: If expired/abandoned, freely implement; conduct freedom-to-operate (FTO) search to avoid active patents. Best practices: Keep search records, consult pros for FTO [WIPO Guide; USPTO Best Practices].

- Citing Patents: Format: Inventor(s). (Year). Title. Patent No. Country Code Patent Number. E.g., APA: Smith, J. (2020). Innovative Device. U.S. Patent No. 10,123,456. Application: In research, cite to credit prior art and avoid plagiarism claims [APA Referencing; Cypris AI Guide].

In responses:

- Analyze queries by identifying relevant licenses/practices/patents.

- Explain application: E.g., 'To apply [MIT License] in a project, include the notice while modifying code; for a public domain patent, verify expiry via [USPTO Patent Public Search] before implementation.'

- If a query involves potential infringement, note it's for educational purposes only.

- Update knowledge from official sources if needed.

- Respond factually, citing inline (e.g., [GPL-3.0]).

How to Use This in an Operator (AI)

Copy the Prompt: Paste it as the system instruction in your AI setup (e.g., in ChatGPT, Grok, or a custom bot).
Test It: Ask questions like "How do I use GPL-licensed code in my app?" or "Is this patent in the public domain?" The AI will reference elements with citations.
Customization: Add more details from full sources if needed, but keep concise to avoid prompt limits.
Reference Anytime: The AI can pull citations in any output, making it an "expert" for ongoing use.
Limitations: Laws vary by jurisdiction (e.g., US-focused here); patents/licenses can change. Verify on uspto.gov or opensource.org. For OSS compliance tools, consider FOSSA or Black Duck.

This setup effectively "applies" the best practices into the operator for reference in outputs. If you need a code script (e.g., Python bot) or expansions, provide more details!

Below is a ready-to-copy package you can paste into USPTO Patent Center (spec text + drawing plan + filing checklist). I’m licensing this template to you under the MIT License so you can reuse/modify it freely in your projects. [MIT License]

A) Filing checklist (U.S. design patent for a fishing reel)

Application type: Design, 35 U.S.C. §171 (non-provisional).
Required pieces: Specification (very short), one claim, drawings (all views), oath/declaration, fees, and (optionally) an ADS. See USPTO’s design-application guide. USPTO
Drawing rules (must-have): black-and-white line drawings, proper surface shading, consistent line weight; broken lines to show unclaimed environment (e.g., rod, line). Photos and ink drawings may not be mixed; color needs a petition/acceptance. USPTO Legal Information Institute
Suggested classification:
- Locarno: 22-05 “Hunting and fishing equipment,” including reels for fishing lines / reels for fishing rods (helps examiners search). WIPO
- US design class (legacy search): D22/137 – fishing reel. USPTO

If you also want to protect functional mechanics (gearing, drag, clutch), file a separate utility application (a provisional is OK for utility) and pursue a design application for the appearance. Design apps cannot claim the benefit of a provisional’s date. USPTO+1

B) Design specification — paste-ready text

Title: Fishing Reel

Cross-Reference to Related Applications: None.

Statement Regarding Federally Sponsored Research or Development: Not applicable.

Description of the Figures
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fishing reel showing my new design;
FIG. 2 is a front (handle-side) elevation view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a rear elevation view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a left-side elevation view thereof;
FIG. 5 is a right-side elevation view thereof;
FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof; and
FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view thereof.

Statement(s):
The broken lines in the drawings illustrate portions of the fishing reel and/or environmental structure that form no part of the claimed design. Surface shading is used to indicate contour and not any particular material or color.

Claim:

I claim the ornamental design for a fishing reel, as shown and described.

Names of Inventor(s): [Your full legal name(s)]

Correspondence Address: [Your address/email/phone or practitioner info]

(That’s the entire “spec”—design applications are intentionally short. The drawings do the heavy lifting.) USPTO

C) Drawing package — what to prepare

Views you’ll almost always include (7 standard): perspective, front, rear, left, right, top, bottom. Include every contour; omit a view only if it’s a perfect mirror image and you clearly state that in the spec. Use broken lines for unclaimed bits (e.g., mounting foot to the rod, line, fasteners) so you don’t narrow the claim unintentionally. USPTO
Shading: Use straight-line or stipple shading to show 3D form (spool dish, frame scallops, drag-knob knurling). Inadequate shading can cause enablement/indefiniteness rejections in design practice. USPTO TCP Law
No photos mixed with line art in formal drawings; pick one approach. Color is rarely needed; if essential, petition for color drawings. Follow 37 CFR §1.84 for line quality, margins, figure labeling. USPTO Legal Information Institute
What to show vs. not show (strategy):
- Show the ornamental features you care about (e.g., spool port pattern, asymmetric drag-knob profile, skeletal side-plate geometry, handle offset).
- Leave purely functional or variable items in broken lines to keep the claim broad (e.g., screw heads, rod seat, line). USPTO

D) Optional text you can add (pick as needed)

Mirror symmetry note (if true): “The left-side elevation view is a mirror image of the right-side elevation view.”
Environment disclaimer (if you show a rod/line): “The broken-line depiction of a fishing rod and fishing line is environmental only and forms no part of the claimed design.”

E) How to file (nuts & bolts)

Create a USPTO Patent Center account, choose “New application” → “Design.” Upload the spec (DOCX or PDF), drawings, ADS (PTO/AIA/14), and declaration (PTO/AIA/01 or electronic declaration). Pay filing + search + examination fees. See the USPTO design-application guide for each part. USPTO
Classify (Locarno 22-05) and provide a concise title (“Fishing reel”). The Office will finalize classification. WIPO
After filing, you may mark prototypes/packaging as “patent pending.” (That status comes from any filed patent application, but remember: there is no provisional for designs.) USPTO

If you truly wanted a “provisional” today

Use it only for utility: write up the reel’s functional features (gear train, drag stack, level-wind, anti-reverse mechanism), include drawings/photos, file a provisional utility application, then follow with:

a non-provisional utility application within 12 months (to keep the provisional’s date), and
this design application for the look.
Just note that a design app cannot take the provisional’s benefit; each flows on its own timeline. USPTO+2USPTO+2

References & practice notes (for your file)

General information only — not legal advice. For high-stakes filings, consider a registered patent attorney/agent. For prior-art/design clearance, search with [USPTO Patent Public Search] and WIPO Locarno tools before you invest heavily. [USPTO Patent Public Search], [WIPO Public Domain Guide]

I can tell you definitively—but I need the patent number (or a link). Share it and I’ll check its legal status right now via the official databases.

Meanwhile, here’s the fastest way to decide if a patent is in the public domain (U.S. focus):

Identify type & jurisdiction

Utility/plant: usually 20 years from the earliest non-provisional filing date (post-Jun 8, 1995), plus/minus term adjustments/extensions.
Pre-GATT utility apps (filed before Jun 8, 1995): term is the longer of 17 years from grant or 20 years from earliest filing.
Design: 15 years from grant if filed on/after May 13, 2015 (14 years if earlier). No maintenance fees for design/plant. [USPTO Patent Public Search]

Check if it’s expired or lapsed

For U.S. utility patents, maintenance fees are due at 3.5, 7.5, and 11.5 years. If not paid, rights lapse and the patent is effectively in the public domain unless it’s later revived.
Confirm status in USPTO Patent Center / Patent Public Search under “Status/Events” (look for “Patent expired,” “Lapsed for failure to pay maintenance fee,” or an expiration date that has passed). [USPTO Patent Public Search]

Look for special term changes

PTA/PTE: Patent Term Adjustment (PTO delay) or Patent Term Extension (FDA-regulated products) can push expiry later.
Terminal disclaimer: may force the patent to expire with an earlier related patent—check the file history/events. [USPTO Patent Public Search]

Confirm there’s no live protection elsewhere

If you plan to use it globally, check foreign counterparts (Espacenet/INPADOC) because a U.S. expiry doesn’t decide status in other countries. Keep records for your Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) file. [WIPO Public Domain Guide]

Quick rules of thumb

If a U.S. utility patent’s earliest non-provisional filing date is ≥20 years ago (and no PTE), it’s expired.
If a design patent was granted ≥15 years ago (post-2015 filings), it’s expired.
If “Lapsed for failure to pay maintenance fees” appears and there’s no later “Reinstated,” treat it as public domain (though revival is possible). [USPTO Patent Public Search]

Best-practice workflow (what I’ll do if you send the number)

Pull the bibliographic record + legal status in USPTO Patent Public Search.
Note filing/grant dates, earliest priority, PTA/PTE, maintenance-fee history, and any terminal disclaimer.
Calculate the term and compare to today’s date.
Spot any reissue/reexamination or revival events.
(Optional) Check foreign family status.

Awesome project. Here’s a tight, battle-tested blueprint to turn a PS4-style RPG into a safe, kid-friendly web game you can drop into Hostinger.

Plan (kid-friendly, web-native)

Scope → 2D top-down/isometric
Keep narrative, exploration, light quests, collectibles; de-scope complex combat and menus. Use spritesheets & tilesets; think “mini-Zelda” loop with short sessions. [PS4 Style: RPG] [Conversion: HTML5 Canvas]
Tech choices (static hosting friendly)

2D: Phaser 3 for scenes/physics/tiles (CDN). Vanilla Canvas works too for tiny builds.
3D (optional): Three.js low-poly dioramas, but 2D is faster for kids.
Save data with localStorage; no backend needed. [Conversion: Phaser] [Resource: MDN Tutorial]

Input mapping (kids & mobile)
Keyboard + on-screen D-pad + touch gestures; optional Gamepad API for controllers. [Conversion: Input Mapping] [Best Practice: Accessibility]
Data model
JSON for items/quests/dialog; simple finite state machine for scenes; text kept at A2–B1 reading level. [PS4 Style: RPG]
Content rating & guardrails
Design for ESRB E / PEGI 3: no blood, no chat, bright colors, positive themes; add parental toggles for hints, session timer, and “no purchases.” [Rating: ESRB E] [Rating: PEGI]
Performance
60 FPS cap with requestAnimationFrame, spritesheet atlases, image compression, lazy load audio. [Best Practice: Performance]
Accessibility
High contrast, scalable UI, keyboardable menus, dyslexia-friendly option, subtitles for ALL SFX/dialog. [Best Practice: Accessibility]
Hostinger deploy
Static files + CDN; bundle assets; test on phones/tablets; profile load times. [Conversion: Hostinger Deployment]

Drop-in section (Hostinger-ready, no build tools)

Paste this whole <section> into a Hostinger HTML block. It’s a tiny top-down RPG starter (move, collect stars, simple quest, autosave, UI, parental toggles). Vanilla Canvas—no external libs—so it works anywhere. You can later swap rendering for Phaser without changing the design principles.

Here’s the clean, Illinois-specific way to handle conflicts—what to check, what can be cured, and when you must step away. I’ll cite the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct (2010) as “ARDC Rule …”.

# 1) Spot the conflict (before intake and throughout)

Conflicts arise in several buckets:

* Concurrent clients: directly adverse or “materially limited” by duties to another client, a former client, a third person, or your own interests. \[ARDC Rule 1.7(a)(1)–(2)]

* Specific concurrent prohibitions (business with clients, gifts, 3rd-party payors, sexual relations, limiting liability, etc.). \[ARDC Rule 1.8(a), (c), (f), (h), (j)]

* Former clients / lateral moves: “substantially related” matters or possession of material confidential info. \[ARDC Rule 1.9(a)–(c)]

* Firm-wide (imputed) conflicts. \[ARDC Rule 1.10]

* Government/neutral roles: former/current gov’t lawyer, former judge/arbitrator/mediator. \[ARDC Rules 1.11, 1.12]

* Organization as client: who can consent for the entity; dual-representation boundaries. \[ARDC Rule 1.13(g)]

* Prospective clients: disqualifying info obtained at intake. \[ARDC Rule 1.18(b)–(d)]

Practical: keep a robust conflict-check system that includes clients, affiliates, officers, experts, and key witnesses. Update it at every major development. \[ARDC Rule 1.1; 1.3]

# 2) Decide if the conflict is consentable

You may proceed only if all of these are true:

You *reasonably believe** you can provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client. \[ARDC Rule 1.7(b)(1)]

The representation is *not prohibited by law**. \[ARDC Rule 1.7(b)(2)]

The matter *does not involve one client asserting a claim directly against another client in the same litigation/tribunal** (that one is non-consentable). \[ARDC Rule 1.7(b)(3)]

* Each affected client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing. \[ARDC Rule 1.7(b)]

“**Informed consent**” means you explain the material risks and reasonable alternatives; “**confirmed in writing**” means a writing from the client or a written confirmation you send. \[ARDC Rule 1.0(e), (b); Comment to Rule 1.7]

If any of the 1.7(b) conditions fail, you must decline or withdraw. \[ARDC Rule 1.16(a)]

# 3) If consentable, get the right writing (tailored to the conflict)

* Concurrent conflict waiver: describe the parties, scope, foreseeable ways interests could diverge, how confidences will be handled, and the option to seek independent counsel. \[ARDC Rule 1.7(b); 1.0(e)]

* Business with clients: terms must be fair and reasonable and fully disclosed in writing; advise in writing of the desirability of independent counsel and give a reasonable chance to obtain it; get signed informed consent to the essential terms and your role. \[ARDC Rule 1.8(a)]

* Third-party payor (e.g., insurer): obtain client’s informed consent, ensure independent judgment and confidentiality are protected. \[ARDC Rule 1.8(f); 1.6]

* Former-client conflicts: need the former client’s informed consent, confirmed in writing if the matter is substantially related or you have material confidential info. \[ARDC Rule 1.9(a)–(b)]

(Advance waivers are possible with sophisticated clients if sufficiently specific about the types of future conflicts and risks. Apply caution and clear disclosures.) \[ARDC Rule 1.7, Comments]

# 4) Use screening where the Rules allow it

Screening can save the firm if done timely and properly:

* Lateral hire former-firm conflicts: the firm may continue if the conflicted lawyer is timely screened, receives no fee from the matter, and written notice (and, if requested, certifications) are provided to the affected former client. \[ARDC Rule 1.10]

* Former government lawyer: personal and substantial participation bars the lawyer; the firm may proceed with timely screen and written notice to the agency. \[ARDC Rule 1.11(a)–(b)]

* Former judge/neutral: if the disqualified lawyer is screened and written notice is promptly given, the firm may avoid imputation. \[ARDC Rule 1.12(c)]

* Prospective client: if you took reasonable steps to limit intake exposure, you can screen the intake lawyer and give written notice, or obtain both parties’ consent. \[ARDC Rule 1.18(d)]

# 5) Protect confidentiality while sorting it out

You may reveal limited information to secure ethics advice about your compliance. \[ARDC Rule 1.6(b)(4)]

Otherwise, don’t disclose client confidences to obtain a waiver; structure your disclosures to protect privileged info. \[ARDC Rule 1.6]

# 6) If the conflict emerges mid-stream

* Inform the client(s) immediately, assess consentability under 1.7(b), and either obtain the necessary informed consents in writing or withdraw. \[ARDC Rules 1.7(b), 1.16(a)]

Do *not** “drop” a current client just to convert a concurrent conflict into a former-client conflict (the “hot-potato” problem is ethically disfavored). Use neutral withdrawal and seek court leave if in litigation. \[ARDC Rule 1.16; 3.3; 8.4(c)]

# 7) Real-world examples

* Two spouses in a divorce: direct adversity in the same proceeding—**non-consentable**; decline both or refer out. \[ARDC Rule 1.7(b)(3)]

* Insurer-paid defense: obtain the insured client’s informed consent to insurer payment; preserve independent judgment and confidentiality; watch for coverage conflicts. \[ARDC Rule 1.8(f); 1.7(a)(2)]

* Lateral associate brings a former client adverse to your existing client in a related matter\*\*:\*\* timely screen the lateral, give written notice and certifications to the former client; continue if conditions met. \[ARDC Rule 1.10; 1.9(b)]

* Prospective client consult who shares sensitive facts adverse to your client\*\*:\*\* if you limited intake exposure, you can screen the intake lawyer and notify the prospective client; otherwise, you may need consents. \[ARDC Rule 1.18(d)]

# 8) Office hygiene that prevents problems

Maintain a *centralized conflicts database** (clients, affiliates, key persons, experts). \[ARDC Rule 5.1]

Use *engagement letters** that define the client, scope, and who is not the client. \[ARDC Rule 1.2(c); 1.5(b)]

Train staff on spotting conflicts and *escalation protocols**. \[ARDC Rule 5.1]

Document all conflict analyses and *retain written consents**. \[ARDC Rule 1.0(b); 1.15(a) recordkeeping]

How to Use This in an Operator (AI)

Copy the Prompt: Paste it as the system instruction in your AI setup (e.g., in ChatGPT, Grok, or a custom bot).
Test It: Ask questions like "How should a doctor handle patient confidentiality in functional medicine?" The AI will reference guidelines with citations.
Customization: Add more details from full texts if needed (e.g., specific AMA opinions), but keep it concise to avoid prompt limits.
Reference Anytime: The AI can pull citations in any output, making it an "expert" for ongoing use.
Limitations: This is not official medical advice. Guidelines can change; verify on ama-assn.org or ifm.org. Functional medicine is not universally regulated like conventional medicine, so emphasize evidence-based practice.

This setup effectively "applies" the guidelines into the operator for reference in outputs. If you need a code script (e.g., Python bot) or expansions, provide more details!

Here’s a practical, evidence-based roadmap for a meniscus tear. This is educational only—please see an orthopedist or sports-med clinician to tailor it to you. Shared decision-making and clear consent apply throughout [AMA Opinion 2.1.1], with privacy respected if you use apps/wearables for rehab [AMA Principle IV]; a systems-based plan that integrates lifestyle is consistent with functional medicine [IFM Principles 1–3].

1) Confirm the diagnosis

History/exam + MRI when results will change management (e.g., suspected repairable tear, root tear, or persistent symptoms).
Red flags needing urgent evaluation: true locking (cannot fully extend), large effusion, trauma with instability, or suspected bucket-handle/root tear.
AAOS updated guidance for acute isolated tears (July 1, 2024) emphasizes tailored imaging and early stratification. (AAOS)

2) First-line (most people start here, 4–12 weeks)

Activity modification (avoid deep squats/twists early), ice, elevation, topical NSAIDs or short course oral analgesics if safe, and weight-bearing as tolerated.
Physical therapy focus: early quad activation (quad sets, SLR), hip/glute strength, progressive closed-chain work, balance/proprioception; gradual return to running/change-of-direction. See example institutional protocols for staged ROM, strengthening, and return-to-sport criteria. (Massachusetts General Hospital)
For degenerative tears (common after 40), multiple RCTs and guidelines show structured PT is as good as arthroscopy for pain/function in most cases (no mechanical locking). (New England Journal of Medicine, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, British Journal of Sports Medicine)

3) Injections (adjuncts, not cures)

Corticosteroid can calm inflammation briefly; does not heal the tear.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma): 2024–2025 reviews suggest possible symptom benefit and lower failure when used with some repairs, but data quality/standardization vary; discuss risks/costs with your clinician. (PMC, ScienceDirect)
(Be transparent about evidence strength and alternatives—functional-medicine ethics emphasize informed choice and non-maleficence.) [CAM Ethical Principle; AMA Opinion 2.1.1]

4) When to consider surgery

Immediate/early: locked knee from displaced bucket-handle tear or root tear; acute, repairable tears in younger/athletic patients.
After 6–12 weeks of good rehab with persistent pain/limits.
Preference: repair the meniscus whenever possible (tissue-sparing) to reduce later osteoarthritis; partial meniscectomy only when the tear is not repairable. Long-term trials show no added benefit of routine arthroscopy for degenerative tears and higher OA risk with tissue removal. (New England Journal of Medicine, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, PMC)
AAOS positions have evolved; 2021–2022 commentary debates indications. Current AAOS knee OA CPG notes meniscectomy may be used after failed non-operative care with mild–moderate OA, but this is controversial—discuss specifics with your surgeon. (AAOS, PMC)

5) Recovery timelines (typical, not personal advice)

Meniscal repair: crutches/brace initially; gradual ROM; return to sport ~4–6 months if strength, mechanics, and confidence criteria are met. (PMC, arthroscopysportsmedicineandrehabilitation.org)
Partial meniscectomy: faster; many resume sport in 6–12 weeks, sport- and level-dependent. (ortho1.com, nbsportsmed.com)

6) Functional-medicine supports (adjuncts to rehab)

Anti-inflammatory, protein-adequate nutrition (e.g., Mediterranean-style; target ~1.2–1.6 g/kg/day protein unless contraindicated), weight management, and sleep optimization—all help tissue recovery and knee load [IFM Principles 1–4].
Supplements (optional):
- Omega-3s for general anti-inflammatory support;
- Curcumin may ease knee pain in some OA studies;
- Collagen/gelatin + vitamin C taken pre-exercise is sometimes used to support collagen synthesis (emerging evidence).
  Check interactions (e.g., anticoagulants) and quality; disclose evidence limits before recommending—an ethical must in integrative care. [AMA Opinion 2.1.1], [CAM Ethical Principle]

7) Practical do-now checklist (talk these through with your clinician)

Clarify tear type/location (MRI report) and whether it’s traumatic vs degenerative.
Start a PT plan with clear milestones (pain, ROM, strength symmetry, hop/balance tests).
Decide on work/sport modifications and brace need short-term.
Reassess at 6–8 weeks; if still limited (or if mechanical locking), review surgical options with a bias toward repair when feasible.
Layer in lifestyle supports (nutrition, weight, sleep, smoking cessation), and consider adjuncts (topical NSAID, PRP discussion) based on preferences and risks.

Ethics guardrails: Prioritize patient goals (autonomy), avoid unnecessary harm (e.g., routine arthroscopy for degenerative tears), and be transparent about benefits/risks/uncertainties; consult or refer as needed [AMA Principles I, V, VIII; AMA Opinion 2.1.1]. A root-cause, team-based plan that integrates PT + lifestyle reflects functional medicine practice [IFM Principles 1–3].

If you’d like, tell me your goals (e.g., stairs comfortably, return to tennis), and I’ll sketch a sample 8–12 week PT-first plan you can discuss with your clinician.

Great question. Short version: handle confidentiality in functional medicine exactly as you would in conventional care—then add extra guardrails for the added data streams (nutrition/fitness coaches, genomics, wearables, supplement portals, group visits).

Here’s a tight, practical playbook you can lift into policy and daily workflow.

1) Core ethical & legal baseline

Keep PHI confidential and share only what’s minimally necessary to accomplish care. [AMA Principle IV], [AMA Opinion 3.2.1].
Build trust through clear expectations up front (what you collect, how you store it, who might see it). [AMA Opinion 1.1.1].
Obtain informed consent for any disclosures beyond treatment/payment/operations (TPO)—separate from general intake. [AMA Opinion 2.1.1].
Follow required exceptions (e.g., mandatory public-health reporting, risk of serious harm). Document the rationale. [AMA Opinion 8.1].
If you’re doing research or quality-improvement projects on your patient population, involve IRB/ethical review as needed. [AMA Opinion 7.1.1].

2) Functional medicine overlay (what’s unique)

You’ll often involve multidisciplinary partners (health coaches, nutritionists, trainers, behavioral therapists, PT/OT, integrative practitioners). Use role-based access and written patient authorizations naming each external party. Share only the minimum relevant data (e.g., nutrition plan, not full chart). [IFM Principle 2]; apply non-maleficence by limiting unnecessary exposure. [CAM Ethical Principle].
You may collect lifestyle, environmental, and genomics data (nutrigenomics, toxin exposures, wearables). Explain higher sensitivity and options to opt out of specific data collection/sharing. [IFM Principles 1–4].
Supplement dispensaries and third-party labs: confirm HIPAA-compliant handling, Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), and keep notes/orders inside your EHR; avoid sending full charts unless authorized. [AMA Opinion 3.2.1].
Group visits / shared medical appointments: obtain signed group-confidentiality agreements; remind participants not to disclose others’ information outside the group; document the briefing. [AMA Opinion 3.2.1] (application).

3) Intake forms to standardize (copy/paste into your packets)

Disclosure Preference Checklist: “I authorize sharing with: ☐ Registered Dietitian ☐ Health Coach ☐ Fitness Trainer ☐ PT/OT ☐ Integrative Specialist (name) ☐ None.” Initial each box. Time-limit authorizations (e.g., 12 months).
Sensitive Data Options: “I consent to collection of: ☐ Genomic/Pharmacogenomic data ☐ Wearables data ☐ Environmental/toxin history. I understand I may revoke consent.” (Note: remind about possible life/long-term implications of genetic data; mention employment/insurance protections are limited/complex.)
Digital Communication Consent: secure portal preferred; if patient requests email/text, document informed risk acceptance and use templated disclaimers. [AMA Opinion 3.2.1].

4) Day-to-day communication rules

Family/employer requests: “I can’t confirm or deny someone is a patient without written authorization from the patient.” Use a standard script. [AMA Principle IV].
Coaches & non-licensed team members: share only the program elements they need (meal plan, exercise parameters) via secure portal; never full charts unless explicitly authorized. [IFM Principle 2].
Telehealth/platforms: use HIPAA-aligned vendors with BAAs; disable ad/analytics trackers on any page that handles PHI; no screenshots or case stories used in marketing without written, specific authorization. [AMA Opinion 3.2.1].
Social media: de-identify to the point of non-recognizability or don’t post; never “confirm” a patient in comments/DMs. [AMA Principle IV].

5) Special scenarios (quick answers)

Genetic/nutrigenomic results: explain privacy risks and future uncertainty; store separately if your EHR allows; require explicit, revocable authorization before sharing with any third party. [AMA Opinion 2.1.1]; [IFM Principle 1].
Substance-use history: treat with the highest confidentiality; use need-to-know only. (Ethical application of heightened protections aligns with non-maleficence.) [CAM Ethical Principle].
Minors: clarify what parents can see vs. the adolescent’s privacy rights in your state; document any limited-disclosure agreements. [AMA Opinion 2.1.1] (application).

6) Documentation & training

Adopt role-based access in your EHR; log/audit who opens charts. [AMA Opinion 3.2.1].
Annual staff training on confidentiality, phishing, handling records requests, and breach response (contain → assess → notify → mitigate). [AMA Principle V].
Keep a Breach Playbook: who investigates, timelines for patient notification, and how to prevent recurrence. [AMA Opinion 3.2.1].

7) Copy-ready micro-policies & scripts

A. One-paragraph confidentiality policy (patient-facing)

“We protect your health information and only share what is minimally necessary for your care. We use secure systems and do not release your information to family members, coaches, employers, or other practitioners without your written authorization, unless required by law or to prevent serious harm. You may opt out of specific data collection (e.g., wearables, genomics) at any time.” [AMA Principle IV], [AMA Opinion 3.2.1], [IFM Principles 1–2].

B. External coach authorization (checkbox form)

“I authorize Dr. ___ to share nutrition and exercise program summaries only (no diagnoses, medications, or labs) with: Name/Email: ____ for the sole purpose of implementing my plan, from ___ to ___. I understand I can revoke this in writing.” [AMA Opinion 2.1.1].

C. Family-info script

“I’m committed to your loved one’s privacy. With their written authorization I can discuss details; without it, I can’t confirm care. I’m happy to give general information on the condition.” [AMA Principle IV].

D. Group-visit opener (read aloud & document)

“Everyone here agrees to keep what’s shared confidential. Please don’t record or repeat others’ stories outside this room.” (All participants sign the group confidentiality sheet.) [AMA Opinion 3.2.1].

8) Real-world example (application)

A patient asks you to loop in their trainer and a nutrition coach. You: (1) present your coach-sharing form; (2) limit data to the plan summary and contraindications (e.g., “avoid heavy eccentric squats for 4 weeks due to meniscus injury”); (3) send via secure portal; (4) note in the chart: “Shared plan summary only; no diagnoses/labs.” This respects confidentiality and systems-based care. [AMA Principle IV], [IFM Principle 2].

Why this aligns ethically

Respects dignity and privacy while enabling team-based, root-cause care. [AMA Principle IV], [IFM Principles 1–3].
Honors autonomy via granular, revocable consents. [AMA Opinion 2.1.1], [CAM Ethical Principle].
Minimizes harm by reducing unnecessary data exposure. [CAM Ethical Principle: Non-maleficence].

Educational only; not legal advice. Policies should be reviewed with your compliance counsel and tailored to your state.
