Man1: Welcome class to the first day of professionalism my name is dr. Why
today we'll be talking about HIPAA policies let me share a story with you
of a well-known dentist dr. Chris Rubor who violated HIPAA and got his license
taken away you guys might think that some of the
scenarios I share with you are trivial but it's crucial to take that HIPAA
policy seriously as a dental professional you need to be aware of
your actions and be respectful of your patients personal information here's dr.
Chris Rubor
Commentator 1: This is Mary Yoo, She's dr. Rubor favorite patient and also one of his
first patients she's about to move to California in a month and stopped by his
office to ask if she can pick up some of her medical records to transfer to a new
office.
Man 2: Hey Mary how you doing?
Commentator 1: This is the infamous dentist dr. Chris Rubor.
Woman 1: Hi dr. Rubor.
Man 2: How's your hepatitis and TB doing?
Woman 1: Um its good.
Man 2: Yeah Mary, you know I heard you're going to California and since you're the
first patient that I had when I opened my practice I was wondering if we could take a
selfie together
Woman 1: Oh yeah sure.
Man 2: looks good awesome seeing you Mary.
Man 2: Oh wow this picture came out really cute I'm gonna put this on Facebook. With my
favorite patient Mary Yoo, have fun in California. upload. I hope I get a lot of likes for this.
Woman 2: Oh dr. Rubor.
Commentator 1: dr. Rubor has all of Mary Yoo's paperwork ready and was on his way to meet
her but he ran into Stacy.
Woman 2: Hi I'm Stacy.
Commentator 1: This is Stacy Mary Yoo's sister she came
in place of Mary to pick up Mary's health records.
Woman 2: Mary Yoo's sister?
Man 2: Oh yes
Mary, I remember.
Woman 2: I was just wondering um could I get her charts all compiled
we're about to go to California and I just want to make sure we have it all
together.
Man 2: Well you know I should get these charts to Mary in person.
Woman 2: But I
just I drove all the way over here and I'm her sister it's okay she'll be okay
with me having them.
Commentator 1: dr. Rubor notices that Stacy Yoo is not on the list of
people Mary Yoo gave permission to release her personal health information to
- he hesitates for a moment but decides to give it to her because she's her
sister and she drove a very long way to get these records
Woman 2: Thank you so much
Man 2: No problem
Man 2: I'm gonna go get some coffee now.
Colleague 1: Brian look at this
Colleague 2: Are these like patient records oh this girl has hepatitis B.
Colleague 2: Hey Chris is this the hot patient you've been talking about?
Man 2: Oh yeah that's Mary.
She actually just moved to California today. You know I actually took a selfie of her
Colleague 2: She doesn't look like she has hepatitis B.
Man 2: No, she does look.
Commentator 1: Within the same year dr. Rubor got his license suspended for violating HIPAA
and releasing Mary Yoo's personal health records
Man 1: So if you guys liked the video did you learn a lot today well I'm glad that you
guys learned a lot today but one thing we realize is that the video we just
played was only a small part of the HIPAA policy there are a lot more
parts to it I encourage you to look over the other parts on your own time now
