Serious question: Would Santa Claus be subject to HIPAA compliance?
- Nadya 11y agoThe best way to understand if something is a HIPAA violation is "Can someone who isn't the patient or doctor find any PHI?" So unless Santa stores health information in his Naught/Nice list, he's HIPAA compliant.
- hackbinary 11y agoSanta Claus must store some health information about some children that have mental illnesses.
- jMyles 11y agoAre 'naughty' and 'nice' slated to be recognized conditions in the DSM-VI?
- DJHenk 11y agoNo, but they will certainly be in the BDSM-VI.
- stinkytaco 11y agoSerious question: Was that really a serious question?
- __jal 11y agoUnless Santa has diversified rather far afield, I'm pretty sure his enterprise does not meet the definition of a Covered Entity[1]. [1] https://privacyruleandresearch.nih.gov/pr_06.asp https://privacyruleandresearch.nih.gov/pr_06.asp
