Unless you have been hiding under a rock you have heard of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Under this act, it protects the patients privacy and security of their health information. Every health care organization has patients signing they have received a copy of the privacy act. So why is it families get upset when you can't give them information especially over the phone? Would you not expect the same if you were the patient? What you don't see in that privacy act are the consequences of such a violation. This includes fines ranging from $100 to $250,000 along with imprisonment up to 10 years!
Now I don't know about anyone else but I don't look good in an orange jump suit and I sure don't have money to "give" away!
All comments are greatly appreciated!

ReplyDeleteWell i guess this just tells how selfish people are! They dont care about rules as long as they get what they want. In this case information. Your hands are bound by the state and still they give you a hard time bout it.
Just keep up the way you have been going..
i wouldnt want to see you in an orange jump suit either!
