In a concerted effort to respect the privacy of the clients I encounter (because it’s the law AND it’s the right thing to do), I would like to officially point out the following:
- This blog will remain free of references that indicate where I live or work. If you know me personally, you know where I am, but I refrain from identifying specific locations, including health care facilities.
- In any posts that reference a particular experience with a client, I take extra care to ensure these posts are free of the 18 “identifiers” covered under the designation Protected Health Information (PHI). These identifiers can be found here.
- All opinions expressed on this blog are solely mine.
If you have any concerns or questions about HIPAA, feel free to contact me at any time.
