cell/mobile phone dictations [2008-02-25]
Thanks for the input. I am also trying to get an answer from Health & Human Services, but that may take a while. I realize it is extremely convenient for them to use their cell phones, but I am concerned because cell phones are not considered secure, as a land line is. Also, cell phone quality tends to be very poor, depending on where the dictation is taking place, surrounding noises, etc., - as I'm sure you have noticed yourself. Thanks again. All input will be appreciated.

Does anyone know if it is a violation of HIPAA privacy laws for doctors (or any medical personnel) to dictate their patient

Other problems with using a cell phone include who is around you. I'm sure we've all heard the story of the divorce attorney who was discussing the case in a bathroom stall and the opposing attorney was sitting in the next stall. Cell phones are bad if people are around. Also in states where cell phone use is prohibited in moving vehicles, doctors can break the law by doing so. I had one in California where the law is hands-free only I believe. Genius had Tom-Tom giving directions in the background while dictating!
