HIPAA, the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996," provides federal protection of patient health information. You will be receiving weekly messages to help you understand the topic and how it impacts your job. Today's HIPAA message addresses whether a health care provider can discuss a patient's care and treatment with the patient's relatives.https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/HIPAAXraydoc.jpg
