In this tutorial on common HIPAA violations, the importance of safeguarding protected health information (PHI) is highlighted. As a covered entity, unauthorized access to medical records remains prevalent despite regulations. Key recommendations include: understanding which staff members require access to sensitive information for their roles, and disclosing PHI only for payment, treatment, or healthcare operations without patient authorization. Exceptions for disclosure include audits, public safety concerns, and situations involving abuse or neglect. In emergencies or if patients are incapacitated, providers may use medical judgment to disclose PHI in the patient's best interest.
