I'm thinking about taking some time to write down my thoughts about a few recent encounters with patients. These would probably just be for personal use (like a journal), but I'd like to be able to share them with friends at some point without violating HIPPA stuff.
I do know about HIPPA, but not quite sure if I have the details right for cases like this. I wouldn't include any patient's name or identifying information like that, but it seems like just telling a patient's story in some cases could be enough to identify him/her. Or that telling the story itself would be somehow violating confidentiality?
I hope it's not this complicated! Anyone know?
