So, is it Legal or not? The short answer, yes. No American has ever had a computer seized by the federal government or been carted away in handcuffs for violating a federal law.

Advanced Practice Nursing (APN). A growing field for students who want to learn the skills of nursing, but want to do more with those same skills is advanced practice nursing. While the definition of advanced practice nursing is broad, the applications of these skill sets are specific and vital for patient care.
Medical Record Number. A unique patient identifier, as required by HIPAA, which is provided by a healthcare provider or healthcare system. Patients do not have a universal MRN as they are provided separately by different healthcare systems. An MRN will not change throughout all of the care received within a health system - unlike an account (called a HAR in Epic) or visit number (called a CSN in Epic). Hospitals typically use MRN, in conjunction with SSN, as unique patient identifiers.
