You are correct. In this case though it appears to be a general neurologist discussing general protocol not someone affiliated with the case or with access to the case notes.
Just even opening them up, wow that is stiff. As busy as doctors generally are, I didn't think there would be time to even think of doing something like that and if family, the other doctor would probably fill them in.
Yep. You can talk about patients but can’t include any information that could help someone else identify who someone is. Obviously different for a consultation but outside the professional setting just casual conversation swapping stories has the potential to be a violation.
One of the nurses that got fired sued and won for wrongful termination because it was a widespread thing. They were opening up Epic before their shift to see what patients were admitted so they knew what they were walking into. Because they had yet to be assigned to some of those patients they were fired but again they won their lawsuit but the practice is still now banned.
No it's not unless that is directly from one of his doctors without his consent. To me it reads as speculation from someone who's not directly treating him.
Basically. Once you turn it on and have the pads on the machine walks you through most of it. Not how to perform CPR but when to give compressions, when to shock, etc. The only problem people run into is if they can’t get the pads to stick. There should always be an extra set of sticky pads in the AED so if you get a hairy dude you use the first set as essentially a waxing strip to pull out the hair and then apply the pads.
Yeah it's strict and the amount of healthcare professionals who don't understand it is absurd. I can't count how many times I've had to call out co workers or clients for sharing HIPAA protected information in careless ways.
My wife is an RT and she never talks about her day. If I ask, it's all general of course.
JJ Watt was just cardioverted this season. He was experiencing atrial fibrillation that required a procedure to induce his rhythm back to normal.
I doubt it is even mentioned today. She might not even show up. If she does try to defend or explain, she better have 5 o help her
Oh man you’re wife has had a rough couple years with covid, give her my best.
I couldn't disagree more. Those three sitting at the desk should not have been put in that position. Kicking it over to a guy like SVP who's covered tragic type events in the past would have made a lot more sense.
It was a really good conversation because many employees were working from home for a couple of years during covid and we also have lots of new employees during that time.
