Answer:

open sharing of confidential doctor visits

Step-by-step explanation:

Any health data collected, stored, used, or transmitted by a HIPAA-covered entity that contains one of the 18 identifiers below, must be safeguarded at all times and the allowable uses and disclosures of such information are extremely limited. Generally speaking, uses and disclosures are restricted to healthcare operations, the provision of treatment or payment for healthcare.
