A resident clinical supervisor instructed a group of students to enter the electronic medical record of a patient whose care they were not involved in. This was done so that another student's chart note could be used as a model for incorrect charting. The person who filed the HIPAA complaint did not know the patient's name.
Is this a reportable HIPAA breach? Is this behavior typical of clinical education? Is this a FERPA violation against the student whose work was publicly criticized?
