Reply #37: As a HIPAA compliance officer where I work, this PISSES me off

[mtnester]

aside from the appalling lack of privacy and respect for a woman's right to her own body....I bust my ASS keeping compliant with the laws, cannot tell a cop who had an asshole let him get stuck with a used needle he did not tell the cop about in his pocket if he told our paramedics whether he was HIV positive or not....

Not only THAT, they are allowing the release of records of MINOR CHILDREN without the permission of the parents of said minor children (if you want to look at it in a weird way).

The level of work that goes into HIPAA compliance is daunting if you have never had to deal with it. And a judge just opened the window and pissed on the law itself. In front of everyone.

This goes farther up the justice food chain, I guarantee it.
