Assessment 2LO1. Demonstrate understanding of legal institutions and processes in health careThe main significance of rules and norms is that it ensures the smooth and correct processes of function and operation of the health care sector. The particular sector is a large sphere which involves various departments and units, a large number of health professionals and care workers work in the health care sector(Exter,2008). The chief objective of the health care professionals is to give proper treatment and care service to the health users. The importance of the legal processes and institutions refers to the fact that there are certain rules and regulations which the health providers need to consider and follow. Different countries possess their respective set of norms, ensuring the legal and ethical mode of practices in the healthcare sector (Skegg,et al,2015)Regarding the point, it should be stated that one such statutory entity is the Human Rights Review Tribunal present in the country of New Zealand. The entity is acknowledged as an important body that possess the right and is responsible for dealing with human rights. The agency connected with the justice sector of the country and has gathered considerable amountof reputation in the domestic sphere. The tribunal possesses the ability to give decisions and grant remedies and substantiate cases as per requirement. The entity solves issues related to human rights and possess the mechanism for adjudication. The entity is responsible for handling legal issues which is related with the Privacy Act of 1993, Health and Disability Commissioner Act of 1994 and Human Rights Act of 1993.

Another fact which should be mentioned in this regard, instead of communicating directly with the patient,the health provider gave an email to the client A, stating that the latter’s trust issue is the real reason for the breakout of the marriage between the couple. Assessing the information, the health provider should not have taken the action. The Act of Netsafe-HDCA of 1994 suggests that digital content which has the potential to cause distress and emotional breakdown to the victim or the person receiving the content, the sender would be accused of committing crime as per the effect.
