3. HIPAA violations are a main concern in healthcare industry,
and its fulfillment is one of the most significant factors to a
health organization’s achievement. The HIPAA Security and
Privacy rules were made to guarantee personal health
information of a patient is kept secure and private. Enforcing
the Privacy and Security laws process requires the Office of
Civil Rights (OCR), which uses three methods to guarantee that
the healthcare professionals comply with the rules. To begin
with, all the complaints are assessed through a thorough
investigation process (Stephen, 2003).
When the compliant has been acknowledged for investigation
the healthcare provider and the submitting party shall be
contacted, where more details shall be composed and assessed.
By law, any specialized health care concerned with violations
claim is mandatory to oblige with the investigations. Most
HIPAA violations complains are resolved and closed after
finding out that covered entity was operating in compliance of
the laws. Another method is by reaching out to the enclosed
entities and offering training and education to assist in fostering
of full accepting and complying with the requirements of the
laws. In cases where noncompliance is detected, ruling can be
made through a voluntary compliance, instantaneous corrective
act, or conformity upon a ruling (Stephen, 2003).
The OCR can partner with the Department of Justice to work
jointly on creating potential criminal charges. When resolution
method has been recognized, and the health care expert does not
meet the necessities as well as comply with it, a sudden fine can
be issued.
The OCR moderates fulfillment with comprehensive reviews of
enclosed entities to guarantee that they are working in
4. compliance with the law. An example of a HIPAA violation and
how it impacts one as a health care professional is viewed
between prestige and a client.
A pharmacist at Prestige health care where I work gave
medicine to his neighbor and noticed that the neighbor had been
diagnosed with HIV AIDS. He went home and informed his wife
who spread the rumor and when John had about it, it affected
him since withdrew from him. John filed a lawsuit against
Prestige and claimed it was accountable for the HIPAA
violation since it failed to train, teach and supervise its
employee (Stephen, 2003). Prestige disputed that the pharmacist
went beyond his job duties and was not accountable for the
breach. The jury disagreed and the jury decided prestige was not
accountable for the breach. The jury and the judge decide
prestige was responsible for 80% of the compensation owed to
the plaintiff. Prestige has already agreed to appeal.
