Sheesh! What's a health care worker to do??? ......NOT talk about private health information...that's what! We are not only defining HIPAA, but determining what we can do to ensure that patients, families and our co-workers are not at risk. Practice confidentiality and security of information. Memorize your SS#, keep the original SS card in the bank safety deposit box or safely hidden, don't carry it around! Copy the contents of your wallet, front and back, in the event your wallet is stolen. Talk to your parents about the strategies that keep your private information safe.
Thank you for keeping up with a fast-paced curriculum. We have to move fast in order to be the respected medical professionals that will be sent out to community classroom (internship).
We'll continue with our lessons for the week...Medicine and the Law, Body Planes, Skeletal System, etc.
By the way....ask your parents to look at this site with you - www.cmanet.org
This is the website to order your "Advance Directives" booklet.
Take care,
Mrs. Erceg
