One aspect of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is patient privacy rules. There has been some confusion among medical personnel over the years as to what constitutes a violation of the privacy rules.
Consider this scenario:
Jane obtains her prescriptions for genital herpes treatment from XYZ pharmacies. One store is in her area. One day, she receives a flier from a pharmaceutical company advertising its herpes treatment product.

Who in this situation would be considered responsible for any violations?
What would be the consequences of the violation(s)?
