Jsbmha and Hipaa Case Study

JSBMHA and HIPAA Case Study Appendix C University of Phoenix Axia College Week 5 How does HIPAA serve to protect patient of rights? HIPAA protects any individualistics past their present and future cultivation whether it be physical, mental or any other condition that affects that person. It also protects anything that identifies the individual snarly, that would their name, address, birth date and Social Security number. Nothing should be discussed somewhat any individual that an agency is helping.It should not be discussed with anyone who is not directly involved with the case even if that person works for the agency. If they are not involved then it should not be discussed. What areas of the JSBMHA did HIPAA compliance have-to doe with? HIPAA has a great impact on patients rights, all areas of the JSBMHA were affected by these two individuals. They affected the patients, and put the agency in an awkward position. They affected the agency, the grandmother could make others aw are about what happened and this could affect the agency negatively.People who are involved with the agency could be made to feel uncomfortable about giving them any information. It would mean that information at the JSBMHA is not secure, the trust has been violated. What actions should the JSBMHA director take about the HIPAA violation? Explain your answers in detail. I feel that both individuals should be suspended, this is a salutary violation. The have put the agency in a very bad situation and have lost the trust of the family.Jim knew better, he has been with the agency much yearlong then Betty, he should have advised her that she should not be talking about these people outside of the office. I think maybe Jim should get laid-off because he does no better, 20 years is a long time to be with a company and it is more then enough time to run into and know the rules. He was supposed to be an example to Betty, someone who she can learn from. Maybe the agency should make an exa mple of him. They both violated the HIPAA law, simply I think Jims punishment should be more severe.
