What are some advantages of using computers in a medical office?
I'm not in the medical profession, and I'm sure there are many other advantages that I haven't thought of, but the first one is that keeping track of billing would be much easier. As would keeping track of appointments, patient's records and one of the biggest things in my primary care doctor's office is that the doctor has instant reference to all kinds of medical information. If my doctor had books to look through to find something, his office would be much bigger than it is now just to hold the books. And to look through all of those books would take lots of time. Now he can just go to a special medical search engine and find what he needs quickly and easily.

If you are an employee in a medical office with access to medical records should you protect your friend by telling him that you know that his partner has tested positive for AIDS?
It is a HIPAA violation to reveal any patient's Protected Information. AND, you should really notify your employer BEFORE your friend's partner is seen in the medical office, so YOU are not involved with that case. If that notification was not made (so you would not be tempted to peek at a record), then you stillMUST uphold HIPAA.
