Is ther anyone ut there who likes HIPAA?
Question:
Remember, protecting your privacy was a carge of healthcare industry ever since the day of Hippocrates. With HIPAA, you can just threaten and harrass the hospitals and Doctors more than you could. That does not really add anything to your healthcare needs and makes it more difficult and expensiveto be a provider.
Has there been any CONCRETE, Tangible benefit to you -other than monitory through litigation- that you can attribute to HIPAA and HIPAA alone?
I am a healthcare profassional and I have not met anyone saying, 'thank God for HiPAA, my health care are really met well now! Why didn't we have this all along?"
BTW, almost all healthcare workers heate HIPAA. All it does is keep coming in the way of how well and effciently we can do our job and serve people!

No! Drives me crazy with all the forms!
I liked the theory of it when it started because it is important to keep confidentiality, but it should not get in the way of care. it was supposed to allow people who needed to know patient information to find out, and nobody more..now its more like 10X the paperwork and nobody can get the records. Also prevents providers from knowing if the patient has any dangerous diseases (HIV, Hep C, etc.)
health insurance portability and accountability act. I work with that so i think its great
