Provide a brief
overview of the obligations of a medical social worker under HIPAA principles
that apply to the presented case scenario (see below). Describe the inquirer’s
rights and how you, as a medical social worker, should respond. Then, describe

supportive references.
Case Scenario:
You work as a medical
social worker at an outpatient clinic at a major teaching hospital. A woman
comes to the clinic claiming to be your patient’s sister. “I’m here to see if
my brother George has been keeping his appointments,” she says. I’m worried
because he’s unwell and not getting better. “I only want to help him.” “I don’t
think he’s taking his medication,” she adds. Can you tell me his meds?”
