During a flight transport, a nurse discusses a patient’s medical condition with another crew member without ensuring that other passengers are out of earshot. What potential HIPAA violation could this scenario represent?
Incomplete communication with medical control
Breach of the patient’s protected health information (PHI)
This scenario represents a violation of HIPAA's privacy rule, which requires that healthcare professionals take reasonable efforts to minimize any incidental disclosures of protected health information. Discussing a patient’s medical condition in a manner that could be easily overheard by unauthorized individuals constitutes a breach of this rule.
