HIPAA
Subject: HIPAA
After reading all the messages under this thread, it is apparent that a couple of posters under this thread do not know what exactly HIPAA is!?
Here are some links regarding HIPAA:
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacysummary.pdf
http://www.mcg.edu/Research/OHRP/hac/polsect43.htm
Excerpts from the text contained in the second link:
The Privacy Rule establishes privacy standards to protect a person’s protected health information (PHI), including research activities.
PHI is defined as:
1. Names
2. Geographic subdivisions smaller than a State, including street address, city, county, precinct, zip code and their equivalent geocodes, except for the initial 3 digits of the zip code if, according to the current policy available from the Bureau of the Census:
a. The geographic unit formed by combining all zip codes with the same 3 initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; AND
b. The initial 3 digits of the zip code for all geographic units containing 20,000 or fewer people is changed to 000.
3. Dates (except year) directly related to an individual (e.g., date of birth, discharge date, date of death) and all ages over 89 and all elements of dates (including year) indicative of such age, except that such ages and elements may be aggregated into a single category of age 80 or older
4. Telephone numbers
5. Fax numbers
6. Electronic mail addresses
7. Social Security Numbers
8. Medical Record Numbers
9. Health plan beneficiary numbers
10. Account numbers
11. Certificate/license numbers
12. Vehicle identifiers and serial numbers, including license plate numbers
13. Device identifiers and serial numbers
14. Web Universal Research Locators (URL)
15. Internet Protocol (IP) address numbers
16. Biometric identifiers, including finger and voice prints
17. Full face photographic images and any comparable images; and
18. Any other unique identifying number, characteristic or code
Though the above list does not seem to be a complete list under the Privacy rule, there was NOTHING in the report that NewbieMT posted that would actually IDENTIFY the patient to say that THAT particular OP REPORT was patient John/Jane Doe's! Therefore that report she posted DID NOT fall under HIPAA violation as it was not an "individually identifiable health information" of that "anonymous patient" who CONTINUES to remain "anonymous", whom NewbieMT took every care to protect. Therefore, in my opinion, she did comply with HIPAA.
EVERY MT was a Newbie once upon a time, and someone should give wings for the newbies and teach them how to fly instead of putting them through a court-martial.
Having said that, I would like to point out that posters are better off seeking the permission of the Administrator before posting such reports in their entirety on this forum, as this is a privately-owned message board, and the Administrator gets to make her/his own rules of posting around here.
I think it's time to end this thread and move on.

only psych reference book I had. It was the old Stedman's one that had psych and neuro mixed together. HATED that book, LOL.
Not only is psych boring, but a lot of it is actually drug rehab, and those patients' problems are 95% self-inflicted out of pure foolishness.

T-wave inversions in V4 through V6, I and aVL

After thinking it over I came to teh decision tht I would say this is the right way..
'The patient is a 40-week, appropriate for gestational age, female infant.'
This is the version that makes most sense.

Subject: hate to disappoint you but it was moi, Beavus
as no one else here seems to know how to do that.
I also wanted to see what would happen once posted, and you helped underscore my point. We can be good MTs or we can continue to be mediocre and then need to shut up about work going offshore. It is one thing to know when to use disc and when to use disk and another to give the client what they want, BUT to adopt an attitude of not knowing when it is proper to use these words, we diminished our value.
Try looking up articular d. in Stedman's Dictionary and see which d. it instructs you to use. If you use disc for ortho, you might be using the wrong one.
Again, give the client what it wants BUT please know the difference and when people ask questions here, do not enable them. Educate them. Know how to be a proper MT, even if your client asks you to transcribe improperly.

Tessio Catheter is that correct?
I hate Yellofin stirrups!
Subject: I hate Yellofin stirrups!
No matter how I transcribe it, QA feels it is incorrect, but Allen Medical shows Yellofin Elite Stirrups and has a Yellowfin stirrup O/R table for ordering and prices. I'd been taught long ago that this was a commonly misunderstood term and often dictated incorrectly by doctors and that the correct term was Yellofins -- no matter how they said it. This term is documented on another reputable MT site. It was so much easier when I felt that was the correct term. Arghhhh!
Thanks for letting me vent!

I have searched MTStars and can't find my answer. I have posted this question before and do not get a reply. I promise this will be my last attempt to find this answer. I know how to use follow up and follow-up, BUT many people are using followup per BOS. I can't find followup as a word in any dictionary. Can someone please tell me where this is found BESIDES BOS? Thanks in advance. We are possibly putting in a quality check and I want to make sure I have it correct before then. Thank you!

Next, a Bard 20-cm, 6-French, double-pigtail ureteral stent was passed over the wire and up into the right kidney.
Are my hyphens correct? Do I really need that many hyphens? My QA has been pinging me on hyphens even sent me a photocopied excerpt from the BOS "for my information."

hate to beat a dead horse on ileal conduit
Subject: hate to beat a dead horse on ileal conduit
Does anyone have a GI/GU book that lists ileoconduit? My QA does not like to be proved wrong. She took a large deduction for my putting ileal conduit. I am sending a QA review to have it looked at again, but she always comes up with a reference book from somewhere that has her word listed, so I'm just trying to save myself all the headache of submitting a QA review to find out it is listed somewhere ileoconduit.

What is FUV1, used along with FEV1?? Never heard of it and cannot find. Also he also states FVC as being forced ventiltory capacity, which I know is called forced vital capacity; wonder if I should transcribe a non-word.
