Having a hard time figuring this health care confientiality question?

Which of the following could be classified as a break in
confidentiality?
A. A computer hacker breaking into a hospital鈥檚 secured
computer system
B. Release of medical records from one hospital to another for
continued patient care
C. A hospital and physician鈥檚 office sharing patient information
for treatment purposes
D. A patient discussing his or her medical record with the
correspondence manager

I think it could be a couple answers but it's only one. Any help would be appreciated

I'd go A. D is fine as long as the records are their own. B and C are normal practices for patient care as long as the pt gives their permission or it's an emergency. The hacker could be anyone.

IF the patient has signed a form agreeing to the disclosure between hospitals / MD offices then both B and C are NOT a HIPAA violation. The patient is not forceably made to surrender the information in D so it too is NOT a violation. SO the answer would be A. BUT in truth since it is not noted that the patient signed a disclosure form then A,B, and C would all be breaches in confidentiality.

Definitely A.
