Case : Public Hospital Corrects Impermissible Disclosure of PHI in Response to a Subpoena Covered Entity:
General Hospital Issue: Impermissible Uses and Disclosures
Plaintiff: Jennifer
Defendant: AU Hospital
Description of the case: AU Hospital, a public hospital, in response to a subpoena (not accompanied by a court order), impermissibly disclosed the protected health information (PHI) of one of its patients (Jennifer). Contrary to the Privacy Rule protections for information sought for administrative or judicial proceedings, the hospital failed to determine that reasonable efforts had been made to insure that the individual whose PHI was being sought received notice of the request and/or failed to receive satisfactory assurance that the party seeking the information made reasonable efforts to secure a qualified protective order.
