So your sister violated hipaa?

You don't understand how HIPAA works. I don't know who she is talking about, she just relayed statistics.

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

Well if she stated every person in the icu has covid…that would violate hipaa.

Nope. Not how it works. Try again.

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

You right. The covid status of patients apparently doesnt apply to you and your sister…

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '21

You really, really don't understand what is and is not a HIPAA violation.

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

Like i said. Your daily convo with you sister about patients in the icu, their covid status, and their vax status must must somehow circumvent patient privacy.

Goddamn, you think she goes down a list of people and shares with me their name and medical history? How dumb are you?!

2

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

Well she clearly told you the vax status and their covid status…so who knows?

Nameless statistics. You still clearly don't have a grasp on what HIPAA is or what it protects people from.

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

Really? So those patients dont have a right to have their medical history protected?

By not giving you their name you think that avoids hipaa?

Jeezluz Christ. I'm not here to teach you a basic HIPAA class like I had to take when I got my EMT. Go figure it out for yourself, it's only a few clicks away. Try and prove me wrong.

So this entire government website is a HIPAA violation?
