HIPAA also covers a lot of other information privacy aside from healthcare. It sets the standards for many other information privacy acts and laws. Therefore when someone runs off at the mouth spewing information about other people that may be considered sensitive or private they quite often get slapped with the HIPAA as the enforcement rules.
I can't, because of HIPAA say what it is my wife does or where she works but she is in charge of making sure EVERYTHING that happens at her employer from inter office communications to anything else complies with HIPAA and they have absolutely nothing to do with anything even remotely related to healthcare. I can't even ask her more than "how was your day" and she in turn has to be VERY careful what she says to me even in the privacy of our own home.
Navajo Express has just abandoned this trainee in a tiny town 1500 miles from home!

Nothing on there that addresses a regular employee passing on hearsay information.

That's how this industry works sad to say.You have every member on your side.Im not at all surprised Navajackass wouldn't help you.Who knows this may not be your first rodeo during your carreer.There are thousands of threads how companies and /or drivers treated other drivers.Bottom line is companies DO NOT CARE ABOUT DRIVERS no matter who disputes that.Ive been doing this long enough.They're all the same far as how they get treated.Your so called trainer only had 6 months exp which is all they need.Thats like the blind leading the blind.You're now getting a taste of how this industry works.I could tell you some stories what ive been thru with companies but this thread is all about you and you have a lot of ppl in your corner.Im sorry this happened and hope your next training exp will be a great exp.Dont accept any trainers without patience and without yrs exp.Ive been leaving post on facebook.I know exactly what youre going thru.I wasn't stranded by any trainer but my last company dumoed me off at a motel 3 hrs from home and an hr to the nearest city.Never let your guard down.In other words don't trust companies and with next company save money incase something like this happens again.I always thought it was the law that companies have to make sure drivers have a way home but I guess not.

They can kick the driver out on the side of the road and then nail him for abandoning the truck.The Challenger, pattyj and JustPj Thank this. -
So yes, the act itself is for healthcare information privacy but with our government too concerned with getting elected again and not taking the time to address the rapid increase in availability of personal information companies outside of the healthcare industry have adopted the regulations set for by HIPAA to cover their ****.
And that employee, who is not anonymous by admitting they run team with another driver whom they named went and named people involved without the consent of either the person named or the persons employer thereby opening many legal "cans of worms" for both themselves and the company.
Now with all of the being said, I'm not a lawyer, not pretending to be a lawyer although I seem to need them often because of drones but that's another story for a different time. However I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once many years ago.JustPj and Leftlane101 Thank this. -
Lonesome Thanks this.
