1. Is this actually a HIPAA violation?

   Anonymous6578 replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA

   It will not affect me in any way other than if I make one more mistake throughout the program, I will probably be kicked out. It will not be something that is visible by future employers or anything like that. The cost of paying back the school for t...

   Anonymous6578 replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA

   Alright, another update. I just spoke to the dean on the phone and she said after speaking with the school's lawyers they have decided that there was a HIPAA violation and my probation is being upheld. No explanation. I'm actually pretty angry and ha...

   Just to clarify, even though I don't think it changes much, the student only reached out to contact my friend. I do not believe he knew that the rest of us knew, at that point.

   U Hi there! Thanks for your input but you have a couple points of the story incorrect. The student was never placed on a hold. They went to the ER, were evaluated, and released. Therefore no one would have ever noticed a person was missing. Also, al...

   Another update. I met with a different dean today to discuss my appeal. She says that as of right now, the probation stands, but they are waiting for more information. Apparently they have consulted one of the local hospital systems where we do some ...

   This is the same stipulation we have. Our instructor has to be with us when administering meds, injections, inserting catheters, basically anything besides basic care.

   Anonymous6578 replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA

   Our school has never mentioned anything to us about malpractice insurance so it's interesting that you mention that. I'll have to ask my instructor at clinicals tomorrow how that works. With regard to the rest of your post, you bring up many good poi...

   Anonymous6578 replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA

   Hi there! I understand exactly what you're saying and I agree with you. My issue with the situation is that my friend initially communicated with me only regarding her concern for this student and things that he had told her and several others. The i...

9. Is this actually a HIPAA violation?

   Anonymous6578 replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA

   The ER that the student was brought to was in the hospital that they were doing their clinicals. I do know how the story got back to administration, but it is so confusing and convoluted that it would be hard to explain. I also know that the "victim"...

    Anonymous6578 replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA

    Sorry I didn't update sooner. For some reason I stopped getting message notifications on this thread. Anyway, I haven't heard anything since submitting my appeal last week. One of the other parties involved also submitted an appeal but she did it on ...

    Anonymous6578 replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA

    It's actually a very well respected school in our area. I have a feeling that the disciplinary documents were typed up by a secretary, not one of the faculty in question. Clearly, she's not very familiar with the terminology.

    I decided against printing out the thread for the reasons you described. Hopefully I will hear something by the end of this week.

    Hi everyone! Thank you again for the support. I did speak to a lawyer on Monday and while she does not specialize in this type of case, she did offer to look into it for me. Luckily, one of the other students involved in this debacle spoke to someone...

    Thank you so much to everyone that has taken the time to comment. I will update after I speak to the lawyers on Monday. And I would just like to say that while yes, we were talking about the situation, the only sentiments that were expressed were how...

    I am actually dually enrolled. The academic probation situation is at the community college level but the legal counsel is through my university, so hopefully this won't cause a conflict of interest.
