    Did I break Hipaa?
    I have a patient at the clinic I work at was seen today. Her uncle is also a patient and was seen today. Did I break Hippa when I told her "your uncle was just in". I didn't say why he was in.

    No... they could see that much from the login sheet.

    HIPPA is geared to personal information. Which you did not reveal.

    OMG! Thank you so much I have been sick all day! And yes the login sheet was right in front of her when I told her that so she already knew! I will sleep better tonight, thanks!
