Healthcare de Jure: Steve Cagle, CEO at Clearwater

2FA(2025)

In the third and final episode of Florida Capital Conversations' healthcare privacy series, Tallahassee attorneys Shannon Hartsfield and Eddie Williams join hosts Nathan Adams and Mia McKown to discuss the challenges of patient privacy complaints under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). They explain that though complaints are common — often concerning alleged misuse or disclosure of protected health information — patients have limited legal recourse beyond filing complaints with providers, state boards or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as HIPAA does not include a private right of action allowing patients to sue organizations directly.

The conversation highlights the importance of clear communication, robust HIPAA policies and thorough documentation in addressing and preventing privacy issues. Ms. Hartsfield and Mr. Williams emphasize timely responses to complaints, comprehensive staff training and proactive protocol updates as key strategies for building patient trust and resolving issues efficiently. As a whole, the series offers practical legal insight into privacy matters affecting Florida's healthcare landscape.

Dr. Laskin emphasizes the need for a shift in mindset within the dental community to prioritize patient data access and the integration of dental records with broader healthcare systems.
