What I don't understand is how the doctor couldn't have used the information from the email from PS in taking into account that she might not have been able to take care of herself. Does HIPAA work both ways?
The doctor can take in information, just cannot disseminate information regarding treatment or discussions etc. to anyone unless the patient has specified to whom info can be given.
