Don’t know if this will help or not, but I sat in on meeting with Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office and HIPAA – they were mostly concerned about who had access to medical information and how secure that access was.   js   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Tuttle Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 2:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [info-tech] HIPAA???   Techs,       Do schools need to be concerned about HIPAA?  Is there a difinitive article anywhere about whether schools need to take steps to safeguard student's health records that are part of their permanent record?  How about special ed??  One of our principals wants to know if we have any responsibility under the new laws.   George   George Tuttle Technology Consultant Pocahontas Area Schools [EMAIL PROTECTED] P 712 335-4848 F 712 335-3420
