A notice of use and disclosure is required for medical use because it helps in future as far as the records are concerned.
A: notice of use and disclosure, which is required for every patient that a health provider treats is part of the standard procedures for new patients. Pg 3

Incidental uses or disclosures of protected health information (PHI) that occur as a byproduct of an otherwise permitted use or disclosure under the HIPAA Privacy Rule are not considered violations, provided that reasonable safeguards were in place to minimize such occurrences. For example, if a patient's conversation is overheard in a waiting room while staff is discussing their care, this is an incidental disclosure. However, healthcare providers must still take appropriate measures to limit the potential for such incidental disclosures.
An individual must be given the opportunity to agree or object to the use and disclosure of their Protected Health Information (PHI) when it involves sharing information for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. They should also be able to provide consent for other uses of their PHI not covered by these categories.
An individual must be given the opportunity to agree or object to the use and disclosure of their Protected Health Information (PHI) in situations involving disclosures to family members, friends, or others involved in the individual's care or payment for care. Additionally, individuals must have the opportunity to agree or object to the use of their PHI for facility directories or to be contacted for fundraising purposes.
An individual must be given the opportunity to agree or object to the use and disclosure of their protected health information (PHI) in situations such as sharing information with family members or in fundraising activities. This is to ensure the individual's privacy and autonomy are respected in accordance with HIPAA regulations.
A notice of use and disclosure should not be given to a patient unless you've used and disclosed her PHI. This isn't a form everyone gets. If you become aware of a disclosure, your responsibility is to give that info promptly to the patient and commence mitigating any problems caused. While it's not specifically in the law, I would say that any unneccessary delay would reflect badly on the agency responsibile for the disclosure. The Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) should be given to a patient upon arrival if they're coherent, and they should sign to indicate they've been given a copy. It should (but doesn't always) go without saying that they get to keep the copy of the NPP.
An incidental use or disclosure is not a violation of the HIPAA Privacy Rule when it occurs as a byproduct of a permissible use or disclosure of protected health information (PHI). For example, if a healthcare provider discusses a patient's treatment in a public area where others might overhear, this incidental disclosure is not considered a violation as long as reasonable safeguards were implemented to protect the information. The key factor is that the disclosure was unintentional and occurred despite efforts to maintain confidentiality.
