Comments on: UCLA employee sold Britney Spears’ medical information to media for $4,600 http://www.celebitchy.com/11282/ucla_employee_sold_britney_spears_medical_information_to_media_for_4600/ Stylish celebrity escapism Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:38:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: stellapurdy http://www.celebitchy.com/11282/ucla_employee_sold_britney_spears_medical_information_to_media_for_4600/#comment-11573 stellapurdy Thu, 01 May 2008 00:50:57 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=11282#comment-11573 HIPAA law is quite strict on the manner and I find it inexcusable that UCLA has allowed this to happen. Not only should Lawanda be arrested the hospital should be held liable as well. Nurses and doctors cannot discuss a patient's medical records in front of other nurses and doctors that are not involved in the case. It's illegal.

I'm a practicing mental health therapist, and if I treated my client's CONFIDENTIAL psychological histories in such a cavalier manner, I'd have my ass in court for the next ten years. There must be a better way and UCLA should be ashamed of such a breach in their policies RC: But letting anyone with a PIN be able to access it too isn’t very responsible.
