Does this violate hipaa?

I would get another reply on this before you act, but my understanding is no, it doesn't violate HIPAA because HIPAA doesn't govern family members sharing information about their family members' medical care, only medical professionals sharing information with people who don't need to know. So unless you were their nurse, I don't think you are bound by HIPAA in their case, only in the case of your patient. Now if you use your power at this facility once you get a job to look up further information about their cases then that would be a violation.

Thank you so much!

You weren't employed by that hospital and cared for your family members. Do you have an understanding of what HIPAA is about? Because this isn't even close...

I want to apply to a certain hospital that two people in my family went to before they passed away. I spent a lot of time at this hospital while my family members were being cared for there and really admired all of their staff. If I mention this at an interview, would this violate hipaa?

Thank you.

If it violates HIPPA there, wouldn't that mean it violates it here?

HIPPA deals with the way PII is controlled. Mentioning that you had a family member receive care there, in my opinion does not violate HIPPA. Plus you were not charged with protecting that data. You never worked as a care provider for them. Its just a matter of how much info your family wants tossed around.

I can say My mom was treated at "xyz" for "abc" and they did "lmnop" but I was never the care taker it would be me just spreading info about my mom. Not violating HIPPA. Correct me if I'm wrong?

I would also agree with Bucky. Not to be rude but it sounds like you may need a HIPPA refresher.

Why would you think that discussing a PERSONAL experience you had is a HIPAA violation? You weren't an employee.

Rest in Peace but if they have passed away, does HIPPA continue?

Yes. But in this case it's a personal experience not a professional relationship

Yea I agree, I was just wondering if HIPPA followed a person in death.

It does unless a matter of public record such as cause of death or public funded autopsy results

The HIPAA Privacy Rule applies to the individually identifiable health information of a decedent for 50 years following the date of death of the individual.

But not forever
