Discuss the following situations. Charlotte Prince, HIM Director at a small community hospital, has been given the responsibility for providing any accountings of disclosures requested by patients under the HIPAA Privacy Regulations, including information on required reporting. She first has to determine what items are required reporting under the laws and regulations of her state. She finds that the following items must be reported and determines what departments in her hospital are responsible for the reporting them as shown in the table below.

Item to be Reported

Responsible Hospital Department
  • Births, fetal deaths
  • Deaths
  • Child or Elder Abuse
  • Notifiable Diseases
  • Statewide Cancer Registry
  • Trauma
  • Medical Examiners Cases
  • Labor and Delivery
  • HIM Department
  • Social Services
  • Infectious Disease
  • Cancer Registry
  • Trauma Registry
  • Risk Management

Because these cases must be included in an accounting of disclosures under HIPAA, list two alternatives for meeting this requirement.
