Adam Schefter is connected in NFL circles. Not so much on the hospital scene. I would be willing to bet someone from the JPP side took a picture of his chart and leaked it, that's why they haven't figured out who it was.

HIPAA doesn't apply in this case because neither Schefter or ESPN are healthcare providers.

Also, if believe that freedom of the press would trump all.

I suppose they could making this argument, or, like most people they could just not understand HIPAA and the concept of a covered entity or BA at all.
My guess is the latter.

If you're not a lawyer, you wouldn't be bound by Attorney-Client Privilege. There's no difference here.

Are you a covered entity or a business associte?

Tweet in question. I would assume the issue is the obtaining, because he's not supposed to have the access to tweet it. I'd guess ESPN settles to keep this from becoming more of a story. However, the fact is that the report was true, and the leaking only sped up the eventual story from breaking. There's no way JPP was going to keep the secret that he'd lost fingers.

Schefter may be a "Michigan guy" but personally I can not stand his whiney, self-rightous style of reporting "News" of the NFL. He overstepped both traditional boundaries of journalism as well as common sense with this incident and JPP deserves his day in court.

The media didn't enter into a HIPPA agreement with him His lawsuit needs to focus on those care givers responsible for ensuring the privacy of his medical records. I don't care for ESPN, at all, but this is misguided angst.
