How to avoid breaking the HIPAA law?
I’m sorry if this question comes up a lot but I want to clarify this before I unintentionally break the law O__O
I am volunteer at the emergency department of a hospital through a high school program. I’ve been warned about not releasing patient information, but I am a little unclear on what is allowed and what is not.
It’s obviously illegal to say “(Name) was admitted to the ER because s/he got hit by a train”… but is it okay to say “Someone was admitted to the ER because s/he got hit by a train?” I have a lot of friends that are curious about what i’m seeing in there but i’m reluctant to text things i’m seeing to them. I understand HIPAA mostly deals with electronic exchange of information from health care providers, so I may be citing the wrong law, but I would just like to know the safest way to inform my friends on what i’m seeing. Thanks!
I understand I also held a job similar to yours… Don’t ever ever release names, birth dates, social security, or pictures over the phone to people who call the hospital or people who talk to you in the hospital don’t text your friends I would tell them in person but you can say like omg someone was burnt and is in the er right now… But once u give out any personal info you can get in trouble that’s why I wouldn’t text anything because it’s on record that u
Gave the info away
