Dan, focus on what is allowed-not what is not allowed. That may relieve some of their anxiety about the entire issue. Ask them to lower their voices in public areas and take consult discussions into back conference rooms. Ask them to not discuss PHI over their cell phones and tell them that in doing these things they are protecting their patients. That's one thing all physicians want to do. Paula

They have all had some previous HIPAA training. Can you give me any ideas of issues you have run across? Since I am not "on the front lines" like many of you, I am looking for input. I am looking for issues you did not anticipate after privacy was implemented, interesting scenario's that have come up, issues in dealing with non-covered entities, etc. Any issues and suggestions will be appreciated!
