This is just a general gripe, but I would like some input on this, so here goes:
My 25 year old daughter works for a CILA home. She started out as a DSP,
was also trained as a med-tech and now is the evening supervisor at the
DD facility she works. She thumps her chest and prides herself in being a
"professional".
Now, please don't get me wrong because this girl is MY daughter, but she is
a raging alcoholic and drug user, but remember...she is a "professional".
Last night I was talking to my husband about a supreme court case involving
some people in our town. I live in a very rural area and everyone knows that
these people are in prison because of what they did to another person. My
daughter walks in on the tail end of the conversation and says sarcastically,
"RN mother breaking the HIPAA act, you should know better" I told her to mind
her own business, we were talking about a published supreme court judging on
the people in our town that were sent to prison. It dates back to 2004 and it
is being used as a tool for law students because it has many useful parts that
had never been addressed before in a court of law. It's on the net, for crying
out loud.
So, I get chastized for talking about the news and a published legal document. Who is teaching these young people about HIPAA and do they even really know what it means?
