Is bringing your teenage child to work in a Pharmacy non-employee capacity a HIPPA violation?

I work in a Pharmacy, a tech is allowed by management to bring her teenage daughter to do filing in a non- employee capacity. She has access to patients drug information. Is there a age limit for a person to be given access to the Pharmacy. Is this a HIPPA confidentiality violation?Is bringing your teenage child to work in a Pharmacy non-employee capacity a HIPPA violation?
I think it might be. I was reading through http://www.uspharmacist.com/oldformat.as鈥?/a> and they have very strict rules about who can access what kind of information. Is there a manager you can contact about your concerns?Is bringing your teenage child to work in a Pharmacy non-employee capacity a HIPPA violation?
It could be. It also violates labor laws to do work without getting paid the minimum wage.
You already know the answer. In every respect everybody its open to a lawsuit or an insurance issue. If you are planning on giving your house away because some other employee casts doubt on who stole.... go for it. And yes it it a HIPPA violation...... again it will be you who loses.
