Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

If I have an unemployement hearing with the department of labor, and I need to subpoena patients and patient records - if I supply the dep't of labor with the name and date of birth of the patients so that they can be subpoenad, is that a HIPPA violation. What if I only supply the name of the patient, with no other info.

Thanks.
