Frequently Asked Questions
How do we maintain privacy in shared rooms?
Use privacy curtains during care discussions, speak quietly about medical matters, and position computer screens away from view. Train staff to be aware of roommate presence. Offer private spaces for sensitive conversations with residents and families.
Can family members access resident records?
Only with resident authorization or if they are legal healthcare representatives. Verify legal authority with documentation. Residents can restrict access even from family members if they have capacity to make that decision. Document all access decisions.
How do we train staff with high turnover?
Implement mandatory HIPAA training before any resident contact. Use brief, focused modules that can be completed quickly. Include HIPAA in ongoing competency requirements. Our platform offers training tracking to ensure no gaps in staff education.
