Multiple players in the ER (Details sketchy)

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

Among about a million other things it ensures that one's healthcare info remain private.

You can kiss that goodbye in 2014 thanks to big brother.
 
I read this entire thread. I'm still not totally sure what happened with the players in the ER last night, or the braves game. I do however, have a pretty good grasp of HIPAA.
 
My reasoning for well wishes are probably selfish, but hey, I AM A TENNESSEE VOL BABY! Seriously, I hope it's nothing to major. :ermm:

Evidently, Raques Crump tweeted last night that he had to take 2 teammates to the hospital. He then tweeted that everyone was fine.

Probably had something to do with members of our O LINE being hungry. They don't like feeling hungry, you could say it's painful to them.

Just to add my two cents worth...I am an engineer at an automotive supplier and the HIPAA laws are taken just as seriously at my plant. It is a violation of federal law for anyone to give out any information about an employee without a signed and witnessed release form being signed. It is also grounds for dismissal if this law is violated and can result in a hefty fine for the plant.
 
It's not a HIPAA violation to talk about it unless you WORK there.

Wrong...if you have access to a patient's privileged medical information through your work or contact with a patient in some professional circumstance you CANNOT release that information without serious federal repercussions.
There are some instances of "Accidental release" that may be forgiven (like sending a fax to the wrong fax number) but those have to be reported to the patient and also to the government. Coming to a message board and posting information when you are connected to the patient in a professional capacity would not be considered an "Accidental Release". Zas posted everything he legally could...
 
Not true. I used to work at UT Med Center in the IT department so not a healthcare worker and it applied to me as well. It applies to anyone who is OR WORKS FOR a healthcare provider and can in any way access health care information of another person.

My daughter is 16 and she had to sign a form before she could hangout in the Neonatal ICU for a few hours.
 
Just out of curiosity, how do you pronounce zasnow? Is it a name, like Z. A. Snow? Or is pronounced like it looks, namely, zass + now? Or is it something else entirely? Anyone know?
