What is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (aka HIPAA)?
Enacted in 1996, HIPAA ensured that your healthcare information stays private between you and your healthcare provider (see HHS.gov for more info – https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-individuals/index.html)
This means that any nursing stories I share have been thoroughly edited to remove personal details and protect privacy. Any names that are mentioned are fake.
