As the Loose Lips Turn—A HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Soap Opera

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.
