After being used during a morning appointment, the camera is left on the nurse’s station desk, which is in the center of the treatment area. Patients must walk by the nurse’s station when going to and from exam rooms. Around 4:30 that afternoon, a staff member needs the camera but cannot locate it. The staff searches the office thoroughly but cannot find the camera, which holds photos of several patients. It is assumed that the camera has been taken by a patient or other individual walking by the nurse’s station, so the practice has no choice but to call the police and report the camera stolen. Fortunately, the practice keeps a log of patients who are photographed with the use of the camera and is able to determine which patients are affected. These patients are called and apprised of the situation. As a workforce member, what action could you have reasonably taken to prevent this potential HIPAA violation?
