My HIPAA templates are the wave of your past.

Back in the day, I created a small package of privacy documents and business-related forms for use by the IBCLC private practitioner.  So “back-in-the-day” I sold them on CDs that I burned myself.

My forms were and are proprietary … meaning I enjoy and safeguard all copyright protections, which still attach.  I am NOT selling the templates any more, because they need to be revised in light of HITECH (now a coupla years old itself), and I do not have the time or inclination to do it.  And, no, I am not giving anyone permission to use them, because I reserve the right to get my act together and revise them.

Do not despair.  The feds have a free option that is worth checking out.  MUCH better stuff started coming from the government during the last Administration than in 2004 when I first drafted my templates.  As taxpayers, US-based IBCLCs can see their tax dollars fruitfully at work … and have permission to use and adapt the forms as long as the feds are credited as the source. http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/model-notices-privacy-practices/

For those looking for more than HIPAA documents, I suggest you Google up “Pat Lindsey lactation visit report” for a very comprehensive package of forms (including consents) intended for private practitioners to use (though that one will cost ya).

Annie Frisbie IBCLC recently created a whole slew of materials, soup-to-nuts, all of them excellent, for the private practitioner, at <https://paperlesslactation.com/> (also for a fee).
