This week, we are discussing privacy, confidentiality and HIPAA. Based upon your readings, where do you think there is a great likelihood of violation of patients' confidences? How is it that we, as those in the healthcare field accidentally or intentionally violate patients' confidences and privacy? How do you plan on safeguarding confidences and privacy in the workplace? Please provide an example of a case in which a patient's privacy was violated. Tell us about the facts , the law and the outcome.
