Re: Hospital programs involving physician shadowing

[Ellen Rubin]

This same issue has come to light at our institution also.  Would love some feedback on any kind of shadowing program.  Ours involves more students looking for future careers.  I was hoping to make them volunteers which would make them workforce.  Ellen   Ellen Rubin Privacy Coordinator Harborview Medical Center ----- Original Message ----- From: Waterhouse, Melissa To: WEDI SNIP Privacy Workgroup List Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 10:31 AM Subject: Hospital programs involving physician shadowing A facility we work closely with has a couple programs during which community members come into the hospital and shadow physicians for an entire day. These community members would be exposed to surgical procedures, patient charts etc. I understand  that these community members would not be part of the covered entities workforce, they are not performing any duties for the facility. Is there any other way to continue these programs after April?   Melissa Waterhouse HIPAA Project Coordinator SummaCare Health Plan --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
