This article describes a scenario where confidentiality is breached and how the intended "good works" actually resulted in unintended harm.

Many service professionals have little opportunity during their educational experience to collaborate directly with others outside of their discipline or to have real-life experiences in teamwork and cooperation. Project EFECT provided laboratory experiences in area schools for students from 4 different disciplines to practice working together while delivering much needed services to at-risk school children.
Does the accreditation of a nursing education program make a difference in the performance of its graduates? This question was explored by comparing the performance of all graduates (N = 4114) from all specialized accredited and nonaccredited community college nursing programs in Maryland on licensure examinations to assess the differences on this standardized outcome measure of nursing knowledge. From 1987 to 1992 (the most recent year for which data were available), the results show that the performance by graduates of accredited programs was not typically better than those from nonaccredited programs, and there was a suggestion in 1 year that the reverse may be true. The implications of these findings for assurance of quality in nursing education and further research in outcome assessments are discussed.
