| "Greetings, colleagues. I would like to inform you of the creation of a new Yahoo group exclusively for discussions of EMS-related HIPAA issues. I know HIPAA issues are discussed from time to time in various EMS forums and addressed in occasional articles. But I haven't found any discussion group dedicated to EMS & HIPAA. The site is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hipaaems. Please pass this on to your agency's HIPAA compliance folks and other interested colleagues." — emtpkelly |
