> Did you read the second comment on that link from Spooky23?
Yeah, as you can tell by the fact that I responded to the post pointing out that the two people complained to were:
(1) A person whose job it is to make sure the hospital doesn't get sued, who is never going to admit wrongdoing, and
(2) An official from the wrong agency (and even the wrong government) when it comes to the law in question.
Also, note that the link you've copied that isn't a 404 is only tangentially related, as it is about gathering and sharing data that never comes under the protection of HIPAA, not resharing PHI as addressed in spooky23’s post, which again is a different issue than reidentification of HIPAA deidentified data that I was responding to here. There are lots of different issued around health data, and or isn't helpful to conflate them, much less to hurl abuse at people for failing to conflate the different issues.
