This isn't really the point, but nurses are regulated by HIPAA. Everyone who touches patient data is personally liable for the safety of that data and may face civil and/or criminal penalties if a breach occurs.
- gamblor956 7y agoNo, if you're going to make a silly argument you need to be aware that nurses are regulated by their licensing boards. The HIPAA regulation is literally just a regulation that minimally impacts their handling of patient data, not their professional practice. Their responsibility is literally to follow the data-protection policies set forth by the facilities they work for. Technically I was once regulated by HIPAA as well...when working for healthcare clients, with respect to patient data.
