moss@beehaw.orgtoLGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Vanderbilt turns over transgender patient records to state AG for investigationEnglish

1 year agoThis is absolutely horrifying. Can anyone explain how this isn’t a massive HIPAA violation? Or is it, but there’s just nothing to be done because it’s the AG requesting records?
Edit: spelled HIPAA wrong
Damn. I clearly need to read up more on HIPAA. I haven’t dug too much into this, but it looks like at least one person has challenged this as a HIPAA violation (source). I wish I had more confidence that anything would come of that.
