HIPPA for GENUINE GENUIUS...

Hi Class,

This is a quick quiz on HIPAA. Don't study.   I just want to see each student's level of familiarity with HIPAA and what you know already.

Please respond to the 2 questions below in one succinct post to the thread Including a brief explanation for your answer. 

We will discuss along the way.

1) True or False:  In a hospital or health care setting, by calling out a patient's name in my reception area, we are possibly violating HIPAA.

2) True or False: Health care staff and providers can have a confidential conversation with a staff member, provider or even a patient, even if the possibility exists they can be overheard.
