Brrenna-

HIPPA has made liars out of more people than Golf and Taxes =
has...........

Bizarre policies abound, formulated by well meaning "experts" who have =
received little or no formal education about the law, but "Read about it =
on the Web....."

I have participated in the implementation of HIPPA polices in 2 small =
and one huge service, and very few functional changes have occurred at =
the field level, since we have ALWAYS been acutely aware of the =
privileged nature of patient health records.

Take a real course, and see what I mean............there are no HIPPA =
Death Squads...........

Regards!

  Interesting.this was what my manager told me after she heard if from =
our
  compliance person.  Perhaps I misunderstood or there was a =
miscommunication
  somewhere along the line.  I actually just submitted a question to the =
HIPAA
  site about this so hopefully I'll get a response.

  Thanks!

  You are mistaken about HIPPA -

  Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement activities and Training =
using Case
  studies are quite legal as well as desirable.

  Have a long talk with your hospitals HIPPA focal point and see if you =
can
  arrange some sort of system agreeable to your service and the =
hospital.

  I suggest taking a HIPPA course from a professional like, Gene Gandy. =
who
  trained the services in my local area. HIPPA is not the nightmare it =
is
  being portrayed as, at least from the EMS standpoint.
