    Warshall V. Price Case

    In the Warshall v. Price case, Price only took a copy from Warshalls computer, thereby still allowing Warshall the ability to access the patient list. This argument is immaterial, however, because once Warshalls ' patients were transferred to Price, the value of the patient list was diminished, as Warshall was no longer receiving revenue from over 300 of his previous patients. In our clients case, Roderick 's business card was physically stolen by Finn leaving Roderick completely deprived of his ability to access the information on the business card. In addition, Warshall and Price had prior contacts through an employment agreement, in which they shared mutual patients. With this fact, one might argue that there was a mutual interest and right to the patient list by Price.…

    Medical Confidentiality Analysis

    In 1976, the California Supreme Court ruled in the case of Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California that a patient’s right to confidentiality “ends where the public peril begins.” It was decided that doctor-patient confidentiality could—and should—be broken if the doctor believes a patient will cause serious harm to another person. In his article entitled “A Defense of Unqualified Medical Confidentiality,” Kenneth Kipnis argues that doctor-patient confidentiality should always be kept, contrary to the findings of the Tarasoff case. He presents the fictionalized case of the infected spouse to clarify his argument. In this case, a husband learns from his doctor that he is HIV positive.…

    Why HIPAA Was Created

    Every individual in an independent state or democratic practising state has the right to know and be assured that his/her medical reports/records are not going to be released to just anybody. Numerous examples and situations where HIPAA act of 1996 has been violated shows, exactly, what can happen when people’s personal information gets into the hands of a third party in an unauthorized manner. That is exactly one of the reasons medical institutions demands for official letter of recommendation from students who claims to be taking research or projects on a topic that might require that one or two patients’ medical reports be open to them, this is as a result of the fact that no one would love to walk on the street one day and be ridiculed or laughed at because of ailment that was supposed to remain unknown to anyone except the medical professional who diagnosed such patient and the patient. Also, apart from the traumatic effect that it might cause on the individual or the shame of being shamed by the public, organizations who fail to make a patient’s medical records confidential might suffer being sued and lost of public-trust once the issue becomes…
