Question: 1 / 400

If patient information is shared outside of the workplace, a professional is in violation of the BLANK privacy act and susceptible to a BLANK suit.

HIPPA, defamation

HIPPA, also known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a federal law that protects the privacy of patient information and sets national standards for its protection. If a professional shares patient information outside of the workplace without proper authorization, they would be in violation of HIPPA. Defamation, malpractice, and negligence do not specifically pertain to the sharing of patient information and would not apply in this scenario. Slander is also not applicable in this situation as it refers to making false statements about a person, not the sharing of personal information. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
