HIPAA Compliance Officers aren't just needed in clinics and hospitals-they are needed everywhere there is patient information to protect! Carol Simpson works for a non-profit organization that offers round-the-clock care for their patients who live in the facility. This brings about very different problems than one might expect to face in a hospital. Carol talks about what it's like to be the compliance officer in such a setting and how difficult it is for the staff to withhold information from the patients and patient's families who they feel a personal connection with. We can all learn a lot from the solutions Carol provides to these unique problems that might not actually sound all that unique if you've ever had to deal with a patient's family.
