HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, for those who may not be familiar. So, with that being said, as you read my posts, you may think you recognize a patient or specific situation that I’m talking about….but you’d be wrong. Hospitals have over 37 million admissions nationally, which means that there are A LOT of patients with similar diagnoses to the ones I write about.
All names and identifying information have been changed to protect the identity of my patients and coworkers.
