Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Just a reminder: HIPAA defines individually identifiable patient information as ANY information that could reasonably be expected to lead to identification of the patient. Among listed identifiers are patient's age, residence, condition, and so forth. I urge caution when placing case reports on here. I always take great pains to change the identifiers when I do, including changing the gender and age of the patient, and never linking the report to an identifiable event.
