Open disclosure is an open, consistent, compassionate and timely approach to communicating with patients and families when something goes wrong with their care.

A draft national policy framework for open disclosure in the Irish health and social care sector has gone out for public consultation.
The Health Minister has launched a public consultation on open disclosure in the Irish healthcare and social care sectors. According to Minister Stephen D..
Minister Donnelly continued: "While we know the health and social care system has made significant changes to improve communication with patients following patient safety incidents, this framework once finalised, will help to embed a culture of open disclosure by default within the health and social care sector. "We all agree that patients and families have a right to know what happened in the course of their care, why it happened and what action is being taken to reduce the risk of the same incident occurring in the future." According to Minister Stephen Donnelly, the public will consult on a draft national policy framework for disclosure in the sectors as recommended by the Independent Patient Safety Council.

From that point, Regulation Z (Reg Z) sets forth specific types of changes which allow for a revised Loan Estimate. For transactions in which the interest rate is locked for a specific period of time, the creditor must provide the rate lock disclosure in addition to a statement that the interest rate, any points, and any lender credits may change unless the interest rate has been locked, and the date and time (including the applicable time zone) at which estimated closing costs expire. The reason for providing a revised GFE had to be documented by the loan originator, and retained for no fewer than three years after settlement. In some cases, loan originators lowballed their cost estimates for business, and then ratcheted up the costs after the applicant was well into the process: a classic bait-and-switch.

But the proposal is dangerous to the extent that it jeopardizes important safety, security, and geopolitical interests in the name of disclosure. The SEC should not force public companies to choose between SEC liability and effective collaboration with the government’s cybersecurity-focused agencies. For example, if a company discovers it has been impacted by a zero-day vulnerability in widely used software, the company may be required by the SEC to report it publicly before the company has had sufficient time to put in place a patch or other remedial measures. The explicit lack of a law enforcement (and national security and cybersecurity agency) exemption in the SEC’s proposal will undermine critical national, corporate, economic, and personal security interests. [the government obtained court orders](https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-court-authorized-disruption-botnet-controlled-russian-federation) dictating confidentiality until official authorization was granted—and the takedown of Russia’s malicious botnet could be effectuated. There is a time and a place for everything, including disclosure to shareholders, but the current proposed rule threatens to put the nation’s cyber defense at risk. In other words, the new, mandatory four-day reporting trigger, with no deference to the “captains” of Team Cyber, as Gensler put it, is neither necessary nor wise.
