The major importance of confidentiality is to protect you and the patient. It protects the patient in the sense that their personal information is not getting out to random people and they won't have to be embarrassed about what ever they have (ex. STDS. Would you want random people knowing about it?). It also protects you from possible lawsuits from sharing the information.
