The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to protect patients' medical records and personal health information. HIPAA applies to both verbal and written information as well as digital records. Healthcare providers are responsible for ensuring patient information is only disclosed to those who are legally authorized to access it, such as identification data, clinical notes, treatment records, and billing information. Violations of HIPAA privacy rules can result in penalties from $100 to $1.5 million per violation depending on the level of negligence. As healthcare workers, protecting patient privacy and maintaining trust is important.Confidentiality slide share info

Confidentiality of patient health information is essential to maintaining trust between patients and healthcare providers. Sharing private patient details without consent can hurt patients' health and recovery, as well as damage the healthcare organization through lawsuits. The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides legal protections for patient privacy and health information by limiting disclosure without patient approval. To avoid situations where many staff inappropriately access celebrity health records, managers should provide training on patient confidentiality policies using web tools to effectively educate employees on their responsibilities.Mha 690 week one discussion ii

- 1. Confidentiality By: Genita Brown
- 2. What training could you as a manager put into place to avoid this situation? Patient privacy is one of the most important aspects of the health care industry. It is the law. It helps a person maintain their individuality, autonomy, and functional benefits (Privacilla, 2003). I would put Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training at the top of my list.
- 3. HIPAA covers the following Provides the ability to transfer and continue health insurance coverage for millions of American workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs; Reduces health care fraud and abuse;
- 4. HIPAA covers the following (Cont) Mandates industry-wide standards for health care information on electronic billing and other processes; and Requires the protection and confidential handling of protected health information (CA.GOV).
- 5. In Addition I would let my employees know that patient information is not for everyone eyes. It is obvious in the article that most of the employees were not familiar with HIPAA policies. UCLA hospital staff should have been very familiar with HIPAA since it deals with a lot of celebrities and patients.
- 6. How can this training on confidentiality be effective for the employees? This training can put everyone on the same page. Some employees may not know the importance of confidentiality. By having training that is geared towards confidentiality, everyone will know what is expected of him or her when something that is confidential comes across his or her desk.
