Just wondered How HIPAA has impacted us in our jobs, as I know it depends on what type of setting you are in, and the new federal laws are pretty much the same everywhere.. Did your facility meet the April deadline?? Has this limited you from being able to give a nurse to nurse report by phone? Does this limit the amount of information you receive from a transfering facility? Have your family members gotten really mad because you can no longer tell them about how someone is recovering or declining?
Just Wondering....................
