    HIPAA and Location App For Home Visits?

    Tell him that his location is not PHI. Period. What does he say about the examples we discussed previously -- especially something like the fact that Oxygen Company or Visiting Nurses could park...

    Leaving Bedside

    Don't be afraid. When you know at your core that it isn't right any more: Every minute, every day, every week and every year that you spend trying to force yourself to accept the way it is--will...

    Cancer patient and professional relationship

    That is a genuinely sad situation that sounds like it calls for possibly some outside the box thinking; maybe a reasonable exception to usual practice. I personally wouldn't feel too compromised over...

    Education department access to employee health

    Did you let them know that you have already submitted documentation of your compliance to employee heath and inquire about their involvement/interest in the

    CPR Fraud?

    Oh this almost hurts me. ? I have actually filed a dispute only once in my life. And it was over a measly $15, for an automated service that wouldn't activate after my card was charged. The...

    I Made A Serious Medication Error: Help!

    So...it does seem like your protocol could be more clear, and I am not wishing to be "that person" (?), but I have a question: Not sure if I am reading things into your OP, but it seems like your...

    CPR Fraud?

    In addition to the other BS, this is (or could be) a very cleverly worded way of saying that should your employing organization reach out to this fraudulent provider to verify that you completed a...
  8. Not at all--you did not suggest that and no apology necessary! ? Just wanted to be clear that I would be against flirting with plagiarism at all and my thought at the time was that the program...
  9. I am not ashamed that this isn't my first time giving my $.02 on this. I actually enjoy writing and as you may notice I have plenty to say. I don't think I'm too shabby at stringing words...
  10. You may know more about this than I do, but with the product I used I felt comfortable that I was neither plagiarizing anything at all nor in danger of being suspected of such. The program did nothing...
  11. You may have to keep it simple such as "it wasn't a good fit." You definitely do not want to attempt to tell your side. Whenever there are set-backs like this it's a good idea to re-evaluate...
  12. (Former/recent) student perspective: Some instructors do use one of the first class sessions to go over the basics. One had a very good video that included expectations, examples and how to go...

    CPR Fraud?

    Yes. I didn't think anything of it at the time due to covid. I'm kind of second-guessing now as a result of your post, although I did get (what seems to be) a legit AHA card out of it. Your...

    CPR Fraud?

    Yeah, I would've been out about the time they requested all my info before letting me see registration info for my region. I did have to do blended format last time I recertified, due to covid....

    What to study or memorize before going into ED?

    Since you have 3 mos to kill, could get a hold of a copy of this https://www.elsevier.com/books/sheehy's-manual-of-emergency-care/978-0-323-07827-6 There is an 8th edition now also.

    Is this a violation of HIPPA?

    Doesn't really seem stalkerish. It seems like we don't have the whole story and the provider didn't believe the patient and had a reason to want to know whether they were being lied to or

    HIPAA and Location App For Home Visits?

    See above. Now that makes sense. As long as all the devices involved are company owned and provided to the employee by the company, that

    HIPAA and Location App For Home Visits?

    The poster was asking whether it would be considered a HIPAA violation if her location shows that she is at 123 ABC street (when 123 ABC street = address of a patient) and her location is shared...
  19. It's important to follow the facility's procedures when serious issues like this arise. If a situation arises where you are not sure then it's best to quickly look up the policy if it is accessible or...

    Being Snarky to Get Needed Help

    But it results in great practice for those of us who wanted to teach ourselves to rise above/maintain inner peace/stop being provoked by foolishness.

    Weird Performance Evaluation

    Ah, but--contrary to their constant woe-is-me wailing--not retaining people has historically been another one of their power/control and cost containment strategies. I have been through several...

    Discrimination Allegations

    No, but I do think you can kind of just move on, here. Let them write their dumb reports, any nurse you come across in real life is going to understand that you only meant to say that you thought...

    HIPAA and Location App For Home Visits?

    You're welcome. And now for some unofficial advice: I appreciate that you want to follow the laws and also want to protect your patients' privacy/confidentiality. I see my location at...

    HIPAA and Location App For Home Visits?

    My qualm is this: (Again from the link above, emphasis added) Arguably "past....provision of healthcare" could be assumed from your example; the fact that you were previously at [123 ABC...

    HIPAA and Location App For Home Visits?

    Well, I will take a try at this--interesting question I have not seen before. I'll comment on what my own understanding/deductions would be, but I look forward to seeing if others agree (or...
