Jane Doe claims her test results were not kept confidential. She said her file was left open near where “a group of employees” were chatting.
As she left the doctor’s office, she said she was stopped by one of the employees who tried to console her.<div style="color: rgb51, 51, 51; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; : rgb229, 229, 229; ">__________________

well she does have a great case against them if this is true ^^ they violated HIPAA .. man I wish these test were mandatory not optional

does hippa affect employees if they can be directly or indirectly responsible for/administer your care?
|
yes and no, depends who they are and what they do with your info. Like a cna or an rn both are responisble for ones care. But if a cna looks into her file she/he violated hipaa.

I can see if she was suing as far as her information not being kept confidential but not for actually being told she had it. < she did not need to know this, she did not sign a form wanting to be disclosed this info.

she is right the docotor did not need to disclose this fact. This woman is very smart, I wonder how she got it. I feel sorry for her tbh.
|
More like its something she probably didn't WANT to know. Even if she didn't sign a paper IMO I think that is something one would need to know that way she doesn't spread it. I'm sure if she hadn't been told she wouldn't have thought to get tested to see if she had it anytime soon.

More like its something she probably didn't WANT to know = we don't know that. Even if she didn't sign a paper IMO Not trying to be rude, but your opinion does not matter in this equation. The only thing that matters is if the doctor and other staff followed the right protocols.I think that is something one would need to know that way she doesn't spread it. I'm sure if she hadn't been told she wouldn't have thought to get tested to see if she had it anytime soon. |
