The Patient Photo Release Form is a critical document used in Philippine healthcare settings when medical professionals need to document patient conditions through photography for treatment, education, or research purposes. This document becomes necessary whenever healthcare providers need to capture, store, or use patient photographs, ensuring compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and other relevant Philippine healthcare regulations. The form protects both the healthcare provider and patient by clearly outlining the scope of permitted photograph usage, privacy protections, and patient rights. It's particularly important in teaching hospitals, research institutions, and clinical settings where case documentation is essential for medical records, education, or publication purposes.
