HIPPA Violation with patient identifiers

[acceleratedstudent]

Does anyone now of an article I can use in regards to HIPPA violations for patient identifiers. I am doing a change project and would like to incorporate patient identifier violations from HIPPA into my project.

Thanks

Looks like to me a photo of a tumor on an OR tray would not be considered a HIPAA violation. That is what happened here a couple of days ago and one of the hospital administrators is having a hissy fit saying that they are going to be sued by the FBI for a HIPAA violation, and he want to fire everyone who was in the operating suite.
