HR Cufnstuf and Getitdone......
THANK YOU for being GENTLEMEN and acknowledging the "mis-information" that was out there!
It is very scary what is out there! But folks should know it does exist! Glad we all learned something. Now, I have one more question......
Whose buying the beers?
-In God we trust. All others, put your hands on the car and don't move.
If beer is going to be involved SOMEONE has to call norm!
“Take you hands off the car, and I’ll make your birth certificate a worthless document." UNKNOWN
I'm not buying beer .... but how's scotch?
It is fairly easy to gain access to high risk (cost factor) patients from insurance pools.
However, obtaining actual medical records is extremely difficult under HIPPA.
I just recently got in one hell of pissing match with one of the nursing administrators at the jail when I was investigating the aggravated assault of an inmate. It took a lot of patience and anger control to converse with the administrator and ask them to read HIPPA, especially the part that does not protect the information of a person in custody and care regarding an internal incident.
As any good homicide investigator in here knows, it is one hell of a battle to obtain specific medical records unless the person of interest signs a medical waiver.
This career is not a sprint, it is a marathon.
