  • What if a staff member loses a laptop or it's stolen from the ambulance and it has all kinds of patient information stored on it? 
  • Do you have a HIPAA breach policy ready to go if needed? 
  • What should the breach notification include and how long do I have to inform the patient their personal information may have been compromised?
  • What if an ambulance employee takes a picture on their personal smartphone of an accident scene or patient to share with the hospital ER staff?
  • Individual patient health records are worth a lot of money on the black market.  How do you protect this information?
