EMR and HIPAA Blog

Written by: administrator

My desire is to post things I find of importance related to HIPAA and EMR. My personal experience is in College Health so I will focus on posting items related more specifically to College Health. However, I will try to incorporate any aspects of EMR and HIPAA because I think best practices across the industry are important to know. Please feel free to post all you want if you find some good information that I haven’t seen and correct me if I’m wrong. This is my best knowledge from my research and is not guaranteed in anyway.

      I would like to comment over here to you that I have gone through a very good website which probably will provide you a complete information on HIPAA as well as all the other related aspect surrounding HIPPA.

      RE: HIPAA
      What a joke! I had a very well documented case against a covered entity in which I had emails, recordings and other additional documentation of violations by my husband’s ex wife (who worked at the hospital and violated not only my rights, but privacy practices). But of course the hospital claims to take the issue seriously, however, they do not. Why should they? There are no consequences. $100 bucks per violation? I have no civil recourse. What a joke. Why did the taxpayers have to pay for the time and effort put into the HIPAA laws? Why do we even have a regulatory commission such as the OCR? (No complaints about the OCR itself - they have done what they could). It’s absurb to have laws without any consequences. Let’s say, oh, I dunno, that there is a law against speeding, murder, rape, fraud or any other crime you can thing of… would it make sense not to have the ability to do something about it???? I think not.

      This HIPAA thing is just a commercialized way of industries such as IT, Insurance companies and others to capitalize on the requirements. Organizations spend billions of dollars each year due to the laws, but have no fear of a $100 fine. Does this make sense. If I were a hospital, I would just say forget all that privacy stuff… it’s just cheaper to pay the fines than to do anything to stop it.
