their privileges were suspended and they could not reinstate without paying the "fine." They got many, many warnings with their delinquency lists first so they were well aware. The hospital showed no mercy. It was a JCAHO issue for them.

While it may not be able to be ENFORCED,
I am sure they are included in the contracts made.

And how was that enforced??? Our docs
lost their admitting/consulting privileges and was very enforceable.

HIPAA isn't enforced here in the U.S.

I know of a few local doctors who are still working from tapes. They not only send the tapes home with the MT but the patient files as well. Yes - the entire file folder which has ALL insurance and personal information on it. I've reported this two years ago and he is still doing it.

The laws cannot be ENFORCED, so we have no
way of knowing what they're doing with our info. Sending our sensitive information overseas where HIPAA laws don't apply including names, DOB, Social Security numbers, addresses, etc., in itself is a HIPAA violation.
