Hi All,

So, I'm working on a HIPAA project and I'm trying to include unusual HIPAA breach scenarios or stories - things that you might not immediately think of as a possible breach. If you know of any unusual scenarios please email me or post here along with any investigation or outcome information.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Physician's using there cell phone and texting everything. Not good. Not checking fax number before sending fax with PHI. Make use your BAA are up to date over 30% of PHI breached have involved a Business Associate from 2009-2014. Remember there has been over 120,221 HIPAA complaints as of 9/11/2015.
