Is this a HIPAA violation?
If an employee was recently terminated and is filing an appeal can their letter to the board include patient names? If these names are part of the ‘investigation report’ that they were given? (The termination was not because of a hippa violation FYI) Would sending the board a copy of the report with an explanation including patient names be a violation of hippa?
basically the termination was an accusation that the worker did not visit the patients in question… so yes are a main component to the termination and in order to explain this she needs to write out the names in a letter to the board of directors… she is nervous about doing anything wrong. We assumed that it was probably okay especially because she is already terminated and no longer affiliated with any Health care system.
Maybe I don’t quite understand, but I would suggest that you list them as “Patient A”, “Patient B,” etc.; say names are not included in order to ensure patient privacy, and identify them by name when a medical review of your actions is happening. I also thinks the hospital boards are entitled to access to patient information relevant to their duties.
“I am accused of having failed to do thus and so for a Patient (Patient A) and I deny that. A review of records will establish that I did do those things. I will identify the Patient by name at the time appropriate to a review of the records.”
