When a patient comes to an office they sign a paper permitting us to share
info with their insurer, other HCPs, school (for immunization info). I
believe patients sign the same sort of HIPAA form for admission to the
hospital. HIPAA was primarily designed to protect pt info for insurance
purposes. People have over interpreted it to many ridiculous extremes
