What Constitutes a HIPAA Violation When Content Is Being Delivered to Students in a Medical Education?

First, we must understand what is HIPAA covered PHI and then appropriate disclosure:

What is HIPAA covered PHI?

  • Sourced from a Covered Entity.
    • a healthcare provider (WMed)
    • health plan or health insurer
    • or a healthcare clearinghouse
    • or a business associate of a HIPAA-covered entity
  • In the relation to the provision of healthcare or payment for healthcare services by the Covered Entity
    • Autopsies by the Medical Examiner are not services covered by HIPAA, but privacy is still important.
  • A pairing of identifiers and health information together (PHI).
    • Identifiers:
      • Names
      • Dates, except year
      • Telephone numbers
      • Geographic data
      • FAX numbers
      • Social Security numbers
      • Email addresses
      • Medical record numbers
      • Account numbers
      • Health plan beneficiary numbers
      • Certificate/license numbers
      • Vehicle identifiers and serial numbers, including license plates
      • Web URLs
      • Device identifiers and serial numbers
      • Internet protocol addresses
      • Full face photos and comparable images
      • Biometric identifiers (i.e. retinal scan, fingerprints)
      • Any unique identifying number or code

Who can you disclose PHI to?

  • Individuals involved in:
    • Health Care Operations
    • Exchange for Treatment

Where does medical education fall?

  • “Health care operations” are certain administrative, financial, legal, and quality improvement activities of a covered entity that are necessary to run its business and to support the core functions of treatment and payment. These activities, which are limited to the activities listed in the definition of “health care operations” at 45 CFR 164.501, include:

How much can you share?

What is a HIPAA violation in relation to medical education?

  • Disclosing more than the minimum necessary PHI without consent from the patient.

What is recommended to provide only the minimum necessary?

  • All identifiers must be removed or redacted/blocked out.
  • For all images:
    • Focus specifically on the area necessary for the medical education purposes.
    • Redact or mask the following:
      • Facial features
      • Distinctive birth marks or identifying tattoos
      • Other areas that alone or combined with narrative or text might identify the patient
    • Facial Images specifically:
      • They should be cropped so the entire face is not shown, the patient’s eyes and nose are blocked out, to the extent “reasonably possible” for purposes of de-identification of the patient.
    • Use a snipping tool to remove hidden meta data in the image file.
  • Make sure all slides have no PHI data in the notes sections or in areas beyond the displayable slide.

Prerequisites to installation: 
Login to https://onedrive.med.wmich.edu, and setup your account using the prompts 
[Mac Only] Remove any other copies of OneNote 2016 (including free copies from the App Store) 
 
It is important that both of these prerequisites are met. Your first OneNote notebook is generated upon creation of your OneDrive. If other copies of OneNote 2016 are installed, license activation may fail. After activation, additional OneNote accounts can be logged into to restore old notebooks attached to a free account. It is also important to note that if a notebook is created on one device, it must be opened on all additional devices. Notebooks do not automatically sync until opened. 
 
After activation, follow steps to open notebook(s): 
 
On the Mac client, choose File > Open Notebook… 
On iOS devices, choose the navigation button in the top left hand corner, then choose "Open More…" from the menu. 
On Android devices, from the main screen, choose "Open Notebook..." and choose your notebook from the "Work or School notebooks" section. 
 
If you run into any issue with activation on Mac, (crashing, freezing, repeatedly prompting for license), try running the following script from Microsoft:

Is there a user guide for Outlook?

Yes, you can find the attached Outlook User How To Guide. Click Here to view guide. The guide has an index so you can easily locate the specific processes you need. The guide will always accessible in the knowledgebase.

Note: This article is available as a downloadable PDF - see the file attached to the end of this article.

TBL halls, the Auditorium, and the Media Room may join a Teams meeting using the Poly/Polycom RealConnect service.  This allows the speakers, microphones, HDMI inputs, and camera in the room to be used natively in the Teams meeting.  Joining the meeting is accomplished by placing a call within the Video Conference tab of the podium touchscreen control.

Prerequisites

  • A Teams meeting must be scheduled beforehand. Open the Teams meeting invite or calendar event, and look at the “Join Microsoft Teams Meeting” block at the bottom.  Note the VTC Conference ID.  You will be required to input this ID when connecting to the meeting.
  • A laptop running the Teams client is NOT required to join the room to the meeting, and we do not recommend running the Teams meeting on a computer at the podium. The computer at the podium should only be used to share content (such as a PowerPoint), just as you normally would when presenting in the room.
  • If there are any computers in the room that are participating in the Teams meeting, they must mute their speakers and microphone to avoid feedback and confusion.

Connecting to the meeting

  1. At the room podium, turn on the A/V system and navigate to the Video Conference Under the Address Book button, press the entry entitled RealConnect and press Dial to begin the call.

        

    The center projection screen should show the call progress and indicate when it is connected to the Poly(com) RealConnect Service.
  1. Once prompted, use the dial pad on the touch screen to enter the VTC Conference ID from the Teams event followed by the pound sign (#).

  1. The room should connect to the Teams meeting, which will be shown on the center projection screen. If the connection is not made correctly, press the End button to end the call.  You may then begin the connection process again.

Participating in the meeting

  1. Once connected to the meeting, proceed to the Local Content Left/Right Screens section under the Video Conference tab on the touchscreen. Then, use the input and screen controls to display your desired content or views within the room. (The screen below is from TBL – Auditorium and Media Room may vary.)

  1. Any content shown on the center projection screen will be shown to the Teams meeting participants.
  2. Room microphones may be turned on and off for use in the meeting.

Disconnecting from the meeting

  1. To disconnect, press End on the Video Conference tab of the touchscreen, or simply turn the system Off

Troubleshooting

  1. The room is muted: If remote participants in the meeting cannot hear in-room participants speaking, first check that the room microphones are not muted on the touchscreen.  If the issue persists, the Teams meeting may have become muted accidentally.  To fix this issue:
    1. On the room touchscreen, navigate to the Video Conference tab and press the Address Book.
    2. On the dial pad, press #6 (pound + six). The room should un-mute immediately (there is no confirmation of this action, but participants should be able to hear you).

For further assistance with RealConnect features, contact IT Support at 269-337-4409 option 2.
