Up and Coming: Author Beware--- The Law

This week at Redwood's Medical Edge I'm doing an Author Beware series on healthcare privacy laws. Boring? Hardly... everyone remember how several staff members got fired for looking into Britney Spears's medical records?

Exactly...

I'll be covering the most common authorly violations of the HIPAA act I see in manuscripts. You'll definitely want to avoid these or have your characters suffer some repercussions if they violate this law.

Looking forward to your thoughts and comments.
