HIPAA refers to the <span>Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. (You can give some background information about the act).
Now, to the main question. T</span><span>he steps a medical assistant can take to ensure HIPPA compliance in handling patient information are outlined as follows
1. Protected Health Information (PHI) should be kept secure and private (either on pass-worded computers or paper files and charts always safely locked up when not in use).
2. Keep strictly to the office policy, and ensure full implementation of laod down procedures. Refresher trainings may also be helpful.
3. Patients should be informed of their rights when their information is being taken and the medical assistant should support those rights.
4. D</span><span>on’t volunteer patient's information to outside companies/entities or allow them access to it, except with the patient's consent.

Adeline,
age 90, still drives her car to the senior center every Friday. Last
week she tells you that someone you know from her church died. When you
ask her for the person's name, she says, "I cant remember her name. She
sits near the front and always has a hat on." Clearly Adeline has better implicit memory than explicit memory.
Well the way u CAN get infected with HIV is if u have any contact with the person such as tears saliva blood ect any body fluids. u honestly cant get it by sharing a lipstick or something that's what my health teacher told me last year and for some reason I didnt believe that but it's TRUE I guess? still wouldnt do it tho. so basically u cany really get infected unless u come in contact with the body fluids of the person who has the HIV
