Commercial filming of patient care activities is common in hospital
settings. This article reviews common circumstances in which patients are
commercially filmed, explores the potential positive and negative aspects
of filming, and considers the ethical and legal issues associated with commercial
filming of patients in hospital settings. We examine the competing goals of
commercial filming and the duties of journalists vs the rights of patients
to privacy. Current standards and recommendations for commercial filming of
patient care activities are reviewed and additional recommendations are offered.
