HHS Privacy Rule Comments
October 6 , 2008 -- Certiorari Denied in U.S. v. Auster -- The Supreme Court denied certiorari in the U.S. v. Auster case (see February 11, 2008 item.) The Fifth Circuit Decision raises troubling questions in regard to what, if anything, patients are told at the inception of treatment about the boundaries of confidentiality, and puts a new spotlight on the previously unexplored implications of Footnote 12 in Jaffee.
