    Pierrette replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    Not one of us knows until we face the

  2. HIPAA question

    Pierrette replied to ccjus123's topic in General Nursing

    There is no universal HIPAA "certification". HIPAA "certification" means only whatever the organization that provides you with the certification says it means. Government does not require...

  3. Did a nurse just violate hipaa?

    Pierrette replied to mclovin's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Removing the patient identifiers would have no effect on whether or not a violation was committed. This exact scenario is discussed at http://www.hhs.gov/hipaafaq/notice/488.html "Does the HIPAA...

  4. How Has AIDS Touched You?

    Pierrette posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am certain that many here at allnurses have been affected by AIDS. It may seem a silly thing to some, but I remember I cried when I heard that Freddie Mercury had died. I had left England by the...

  6. HIPAA Audit

    Pierrette replied to jamieslovingmom's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a privacy officer. Nothing you've admitted to violates any provision of HIPAA. Looking at your family's information is a facility rule, not one of HIPAA. I am surprised that your...

  7. Does "your" instead of "you're" drive anyone else nuts?

    Pierrette replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    It bugs me

  11. What we do

    Pierrette replied to CABG patch kid's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you do the job every day, I don't think you can understand what nurses actually do. I certainly didn't know before becoming a

  12. Nursing and abortions

    Pierrette replied to breakinglightx's topic in General Nursing

    Although I don't know you, I'm proud of you that you've found a moral compass at such an early age. Personally, if people want to kill their own kids, that's their call. Just don't ask me (or you) to...

  13. The law about patients obtaining their own chart

    Pierrette replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    HIPAA is the correct spelling. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2007/octqtr/pdf/45cfr164.524.pdf 164.524 (b)(2) ...the covered entity must act on a request for access no later than 30 days after...

  15. Gave the MD the best answer ever!!

    Pierrette replied to Morettia2's topic in General Nursing

    Hehehe

  16. Hospials, all about money?

    Pierrette replied to iluvgr8danes's topic in General Nursing

    Why does it have to be either one or the other? Jules nailed it. If you ask yourself the same question - are you in it for patient care or for the money - you will find a combination of both. There...

  17. Resignation Letter- please inspect

    Pierrette replied to Bumashes's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Jolie said precisely what I'm thinking. Never give anyone any chance to look negatively at you or your situation; you might need to work there again in the

  18. HIPPA Violation with patient identifiers

    Pierrette replied to acceleratedstudent's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It is simply not a violation to use whiteboards. HIPAA does not intend to impede safe, effective healthcare. It simply tries to enforce the "minimum necessary". If it's necessary to use a...

  19. HIPPA Violation with patient identifiers

    Pierrette replied to acceleratedstudent's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A simple google of "HIPAA patient identifiers" gives results (below). Please note that HIPAA has only one "P". I am presently a privacy officer. Just about anything can identify a patient. HIPAA...

  20. Discussing religion in the workplace

    Pierrette replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    When I was little, no one would have thought anything about such a question being asked. It amazes me how our nation keeps

  21. Helping out those on the Dark Side

    Pierrette replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like what a teenager would say about his/her parents. I think we would be wise to remember that physicians have their place in medicine, just as we do. Just because we don't agree with...

  22. Are call backs HIPAA violations?

    Pierrette replied to pm2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Leaving a message on an answering machine is okay, provided you use good professional judgment. There are exceptions, however. See this exact explanation at HHS website:...

  23. Job Satisfaction

    Pierrette replied to swimincatz's topic in General Nursing

    If the job was fun and enjoyable, they wouldn't have to pay you to do it. Most people work somewhere, so you pick a career that you think you will "enjoy". Nursing does it for

  24. A universal single-payer, not-for-profit healthcare system could help lift tens of mi

    Pierrette replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Every other industrialized country has a properly managed public health care system? One things seems certain: we're going to get public health care. I believe in democracy and the voters have...
