It's not a HIPAA violation to inform the public that an individual is being treated at a clinic or hospital. This happens all the time in the news. It's also OK to give a general status of the patient, e.g. stable condition, critical condition, etc. It is a violation to divulge specific info on the patient, e.g. operation performed, medical history, etc. Stating that they will be able to practice in the fall is not a HIPAA violation. This info is also given out all the time on athletes.

sorry, bro. here's a HIPAA summary that shows you're wrong. all personal information, including an acknowledgement of care by the care provider, is covered by HIPAA.

I stand corrected, but this happens all the time.

Ill let her know the Rant Mafia is out to get her. About 3 people had to break the rules for her to find out to begin with so it shows how things go over there. Anytime there is an LSU surgery I ask her or her friend at work and I get details.

Yeah, despite me spelling HIPAA wrong, I work in healthcare. I had to read that shite front to back. I manage 29 hospitals and patient records are a major part of that. You're not supposed to release anything. When celeb and famous athlete status' are released its usually via a spokesperson or themselves (i.e. they gave permission). Rarely is it a leak these days.

Someone got fired for looking up Charlie Sheen's hospital visit in our hospital. Fired the next day actually and they just did it for personal knowledge and not to spill to media.

I bet it was torn labrum. Most common. I had that surgery + rotator cuff 7 weeks ago and I am playing in a golf tourny tomorrow.


same here, had both done back to life as normal in 5 weeks, therapy was different for both, Moffitt i'm sure has something figured out for them.

I think Mills played great last year & should have a banner year. For a freshman, I thought he was the best secondary player we had.

I can give 2 shits about the healthcare code. I hope she releases the records of everyone she sees today.

Aren't you in violation here by announcing he was admitted to one of your hospitals?

Seems mighty HIPAAcritical of you.
