You are simply misinformed. It is not a HIPAA law.

In Reply to: having less IDENTIFYING items in body of reportSM - It's a HIPAA law really - they want the record.
It is obviously easier to take our identifying patient information when medical records are used for research, it is not a law. The person signing the check decides how much PI is in the report. Please be better informed if you are going to have new MTs information.

HIPAA
You can post all the links you want, HIPAA says you cannot disclose PHI. It does not state that a doctor/NP/any other medical dictator cannot put patient identifying information into their own report. It says that if you want to use medical reports for research, then you must remove PHI. End of story.
BOS has nothing to do with this at all. BOS does not sign your checks. I don't know who the person is who keeps posting that it is a HIPAA law, but they are WRONG and they are giving advice that is WRONG. They obviously haven't bothered to read the link they keep posting or taken the time to ask questions to become better informed about things that they wish to discuss. Shame on them.
You simply have to let her get her own job on her own
She will either get a job on her own merit or she won't.
It's that simple.
I didn't indicate that anyone can do it. I simply
stated my experience. I thought that was the reason for this forum, sharing experiences and opinions. 
The physician cannot opt out of it. The patient cannot opt out of HIPAA, they can
sign a declaration to allow everyone to know their personal information. That isn't quite the same thing as you are stating. But you answered a post with information that was not pertinent. Another posted stated that it was a "law" under HIPAA that patient's name could not be included in a record. I don't understand the correlation with your post.
That is simply not true. CareerStep's course is NOT
through the entire course. And you get everything you need to become an excellent MT. I know because I took the course and am now working in a good job. But don't take my word for it. Call some MT employers. Ask them about CareerStep. Ask them which course they recommend. You will see how many employers LOVE CareerStep! Don't listen to any naysayer with an axe to grind.
pls read hipaa link supplied above and.....sm
read the AAMT BOS....but bottom line, that poster Suzanne was right about one thing.....it's the client's wishes that count......you can only inform the MDs of the new changes in HIPAA and BOS but you cannot make them do anything they do not want to do...
HIPAA is a joke. These reports go to third world countries. nm

With all due respect, that is simply BS. Please prove to me that MTSO will waive experience
depending on which school you went to. Please share your information because as an MTSO I have never done this and know of no other services that do this. What a disservice to newbies to make this statement.
