What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello, I work at a medically-based facility for the elderly and disabled where patients attend for several hours a day. Our marketing person wants to have someone make a video of one of our parties for marketing purposes with the intent of having it on a TV station Mostly it would show patients dancing and having fun. There are, rightfully so, staff concerns with potential HIPAA violations. Patients signed a consent for photographs and videos, but, as many things that patients sign, I wonder if they understood what they were signing as it was not in the language they normally speak. I have spent a lot of time reviewing potential HIPAA violations, but I cannot find anything clear cut on addressing this issue. Any assistance is appreciated.
