Question

The hospital’s public relations department in conjunction with the local high school is holding a job-shadowing day. The purpose of this event is to give high school seniors an opportunity to observe the various jobs in the hospital and help them with career planning. The public relations department asks for event input from the standpoint of HIPAA compliance. In this case, what should the HIM department advise?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is :  Not to enter to the administrative areas

Explanation:

Job shadowing has to be restricted to areas in which the probability of exposure to very important information such as medical histories, insurance information, demographic information is very limited. In this case the entrance or visit to the administrative areas should be forbidden to the general public.
