I'm gonna have to go with B. Wouldn't want to end up in the doghouse with the state of California, am I right? Though I do enjoy a good game of 'How Many Patients Can We Identify?'

Hold up, option E? What kind of hospital is this running a cheeky HIPAA loophole like that? Nope, not on my watch!

Option D seems like the way to go. Gotta cover all your bases when it comes to protecting patient privacy. Can't be too careful these days, right?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option B, but I'm not 100% sure. HIPAA can be a real minefield sometimes, you know?
