HIPPA for the EMT works just the same as any other healthcare provider. You can't discuss anything about the patient with anyone outside of the call, or your manager. You can't use any information that's an identifier when talking about them, such as: name, ssn, things like that. Hope that helps!

EMT, or Emergency Medical Technician, is the blanket term. There are several levels of EMTs. The nationally accepted levels are as follows: EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate (85), EMT-Basic Advanced, EMT-Intermediate (99), EMT-Paramedic. You often hear about "Paramedics" as though everyone on an ambulance is a Paramedic, but in reality, EMT-Bs are the most common responders. EMT's will respond out of a station or a fire department, and they typically cover a much smaller area. EMT-Paramedics might respond to more rural areas from farther away, depending on the local and financial availability of Paramedics within an area.

How does HIPAA relate to medical assisting and how do they impact the MA?
HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, establishes national standards for protecting patients' medical records and personal health information. Medical assistants (MAs) must be well-versed in HIPAA regulations to ensure patient confidentiality and compliance in their daily tasks, such as handling medical records and communicating patient information. Violations of HIPAA can lead to severe penalties for both healthcare providers and MAs, making it crucial for them to understand and adhere to these privacy standards. Overall, HIPAA impacts MAs by emphasizing the importance of safeguarding patient information and fostering trust in the healthcare system.

What is the difference between emt and paramedic?
Let's break this down to the US version. There's are 3 levels of pre-hospital care in the US. The EMT system in the US is changing, it used to be: EMT-B(Basic), EMT-I(Intermediate) and EMT-P(Paramedic). This system is changing in most states to EMR, EMT, and EMT-P. The EMT is the mid level of pre-hospital care. This level usually requires about a year to a year and a half of college education and training. An EMT-I(EMT) can do some more advanced skills then the EMT-B(EMR) such as basic cardiac monitoring, cricothyrotomy and more medications. ALL levels of pre-hospital care are considered EMTs, but only the EMT-P is a Paramedic. The Paramedic is the most advanced level of EMT and requires about 2 years or college education and training. The Paramedic may do everything the EMT can do plus intubation, 12 lead ECG, administer 20 medications(depends on protocol) and more. Paramedics are Advanced Life Support(ALS) providers, the EMT-B is Basic Life Support(BLS) and the EMT-I is sort of a mix. Hopefully this helped answer your question. It's OK to call a Paramedic an EMT but you can't call a EMT a Paramedic.
