Hopefully, this won't have a detrimental affect on Coach Auriemma's heatlth..
Why must UConn disclose private medical information? Would you be OK if your employer did that?
Please stop! What you are suggesting is a violation of Federal HIPAA laws. Beyond that, the medical personnel that treated CD are the people who are qualified to determine her current condition and whether or not she’s healthy enough to rejoin the team in Oregon, not someone on the Boneyard.
You respond this way every time there is an injury or illness how do we make you understand as part of the public you are not owed an explanation on these matters
Here we go again! If she wants her medical info released to the general public, she will do so. Until such time, UConn is not at liberty to release them. This Thanksgiving, I will be grateful that most Boneyarders have some common sense and decency. Others are just turkeys!
It does not violate any HIPAA laws. Here is a link to show you whom it actually applies to.
While I don’t claim to be an expert on HIPAA, the fact that “Health Care Providers” (Doctors) and “Business Associates” (coworkers) must comply with privacy requirements sure sounds like UConn has no authority to divulge any information on CD’s health unless CD authorizes the school to do so.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient's consent or knowledge.
The health care providers must abide by HIPPA. They won't tell anyone without CD's permission. CD strikes me as a private person. I am guessing she does want "nebby" people knowing her business.
