Abstract

HIPAA compliance is crucial to all health care organizations. There are so many variations when it comes to dealing with each HIPAA issue. HIPAA issues can be real life scenarios that are played out each day in any hospital or health care organization. It is one thing to understand all the policies and procedures for HIPAA, but it is quite another to deal with the applications face to face. All the stories in this play actually happened and it is the professionals in each incident who make HIPAA work to protect patient information and the patients themselves. The play illustrates the human side for doctors, nurses and support staff as the real life issues are presented.
