Anyone who works in health care.

Not just doctors, nurses, or medical-records staff — anyone who handles or has access to patient health information (front‑desk staff, billing, transcription, volunteers, contractors/business associates, etc.) is responsible for keeping it confidential under HIPAA and professional privacy rules.
