Quote of the Day


“Don’t be intimidated by an official-looking legal document or assume that because it demands information in connection with litigation (whether you are a party to the litigation or not) you can ignore your responsibility to protect and secure PHI under HIPAA. Remember that the lawyer who drafted (or sent you) that subpoena, discovery request or court order is not responsible for your HIPAA compliance.”



— Elizabeth Litten, a partner in the Fox Rothschild health law practice in Princeton, N.J., in an article she authored that was reprinted in AIS’s Report on Patient Privacy.
