Please take care, thinkertdm. I've asked the question with trying to understand HIPAA law. Your comment "That's pretty much the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard" sounds like a put-down attempt. Not necessary. I had wondered if the avoidance of the use of a patient name in a public hallway (and in this case - written) would be a 'reasonable safeguard' consideration. Many thanks for your responses. Learning about HIPAA has been a most fascinating challenge.

Are patient's last names on backs of wheelchairs compliant with HIPAA law? These patients propel their wheelchairs throughout the hospital and therapy gyms.
