  1. *Should not be shared so publically. #HIPPA. Sharing patient sensitive info on the loud walkie talkies so others can hear even from other rooms is just #BadMedicine.

  2. @Em0nM4stodon

    Basically the move backwards: It used to be that disabled unemployed adults were the only ones subjected to a complete lack of privacy & digital rights, due to structural problems with laws (mostly the #ADA) & general infantilizing of said group of people, but now it's everyone.

    Now more specifically a lacking of understanding and to some extent outright lying on law sets and enforcement mechanisms of #HIPPA, which doesn't really protect or enhance medical records privacy, rather the opposite in practice & the Americans with Disabilities Act #ADA which basically runs on a combination of voluntary advanced given adaptive options, and generally publicly given disclosures of medical information with requests for accommodations before formal lawsuits, (which are pretty close to completely impossible in the online sphere).

  7. Got a solicitation for a medical research study via mychart. Not thrilled they are profiling my data at all. Then find out it is unpaid, and involves my genetic information. This seems entirely unethical and even possibly illegal. So #hippa shields mass covid deaths from being seen, but not this?

  8. I am emailing a ton of lawyers, hopefully can get somebody local, it may be a slog cause terms? but overall should be open and shut - settlements but actual enforcement - definite maybe thus the settlements, nothing is coerced but nda to all parties. soft power or leverage via mutual enemy will be factor? that's why i need a good lawyer to sort it all out asap #hippa #forensic accountant #affidavits

    Here’s the data the #NIH can collect from your medical history for its ‘#autism database’

    Story by Julia Musto, 4/23/2025

    Excerpt: "While it remains unclear exactly what data will be collected, under the presented platform NIH researchers could have access to:

    - Americans’ #prescription information, including the type of medication and how they are prescribed
    - Data collected during medical studies in a multitude of areas and from public and private institutions
    - Data collected from peoples’ #smartwatches, which can range from heart health to sleep patterns
    - #Claims from private insurers that can cover items such as lengthy hospital stays, #screening and testing
    - Data from the Centers for #Medicare and #Medicaid Services, which includes #referrals to specialists, enrollment, #diagnoses, and more "

  10. @todb bet they are failing some type of #HIPPA regulation.

  11. The only mnemonic that's ever worked for me remembering that it’s #HIPAA and not #HIPPA is that it's NOT a "HIPPO"

    As soon as I know to rule out the double-P with the similar real word, I'm good to go.

  12. i should try to get a ocpy of histology/path report #hippa

  13. For years, I have filed a HIPPA complaint with the privacy office of every website I go to that has a Google Analytics tag that serves my protected health information, like my doctor, MyChart, labs, pharmacies, home health, case management etc. I get brushed off. It just makes me uncomfortable.

    🔗 'Read the Manual': Misconfigured Google Analytics Led to a Data Breach Affecting 4.7M

    Personal health information on 4.7 million Blue Shield California subscribers was unintentionally shared between Google #Analytics and Google #Ads between April 2021 and January 2025 due to a misconfiguration error.

    🔗 BCBS NOTICE OF DATA BREACH: news.blueshieldca.com/notice-o

    "On February 11, 2025, Blue Shield discovered that, between April 2021 and January 2024, Google Analytics was configured in a way that allowed certain member data to be shared with Google’s advertising product, Google Ads, that likely included protected health information. Google may have used this data to conduct focused ad campaigns back to those individual members. We want to reassure our members that no bad actor was involved, and, to our knowledge, Google has not used the information for any purpose other than these ads or shared the protected information with anyone."

  14. 1938 Germany repeated in 21st century America. #JFKjr RobertF. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly building a national database of individuals with #autism by tapping into private #medical records. The National Institutes of Health #NIH is also involved, gathering data from both government and private sources to hand over to the secretary of health and human services #HHS #hippa #privacy #lawfedi #Neurodivergent

  15. Tagging @actuallyautistic

    @PattyHanson "For those who always cry HIPPA violation, this is a #HIPPA violation.

    I worked in the med community for 20 yrs. A patient's records can only be used to facilitate trmt & to seek insurance reimbursement, and even then, there are limitations on who has access to the records.

    I've also participated in med studies as the researcher & as a participant. Names & other personal information must be redacted & consent must be obtained, even with HHS.

    Contact your providers & say 'no'."

  16. Huh, they finally are giving HIPPA some teeth. PCIDSS for the medical industrial complex: HISAA.

    #grc #hippa

  17. #HIPAA has been a thing for almost 30 years. And many healthcare professionals still can’t spell it. I get super itchy at #HIPPA, especially from folks who should know better.

  18. One of the things I cited in a long list of security and privacy problems at the last agency I worked at before setting up my own shop was their permissive use of these online services to convert images taken on the behavior techs' phones to PDF before sending them to admin for inclusion in the patient's charts. I was only there for about eight months, for obvious reasons.

  19. Some class action lawyer is about to get rich, #Microsoft won't notice, and regular people will be more fucked and have worse lives for the remainder of their days.

    OR … we could burn the entire industry down. We have 1 week. That isn't much time, but I have these schematics of their exhaust system and there's a port right here …

    This feature is instant #HIPPA violation. Does your healthcare system run entirely on Linux desktops? I doubt it. Is your doc using some whitelabel patient portal software and typing in your chart on their Windows laptop/tablet? Almost certainly.

    Guess who was the Devil afterall?

  20. @devlogic My #zoom account is through #wustl and described as #HIPPA compliant, but I'm skeptical.

    With #box, microsoft, etc. adding #AI, I'm getting less and less fond of cloud-based storage for our sensitive human-subjects research data. (And that's before adding in the environmental costs of the large server centers.)

    #neuroscience #academicChatter

  21. @marie_ahoi I did my dissertation using spatial data but it involved mortality and in the US that's outside of IRB (for this analysis anyway). For our large study of #COPD ( #COPDGene ) though the participants are present and protected by #HIPPA so - higher standard. I think that going forward we'll pull all of the shape files, do all of our #kriging and other work before we even think about merging the spatial identifiers. Now what does THAT grant look like??!

  22. draft - idea - something kind of like a Microsoft teams but for the talk therapist/client setup where maybe there's like 5 or 10 or 20 "blank messages" that can be edited per week, just like how regular teams allows us to edit previous messages (or the therapist/client can choose how many blank messages are available together or the therapist can set it up etc...) and then, the client can access it and edit the blank messages to leave text notes, voice notes, photos, video, etc just like regular Microsoft teams, but something that the provider would be more comfortable with and applies with HIPPA compliance etc but would still be Microsoft teams but yeah. I mean, I'd appreciate if my talk therapist was comfortable setting up Microsoft teams lol, (one of them did) but ...
