For Patients
Dear Patients and
Visitors,
Protecting the privacy of your health information is important.
We are pleased to tell you about a federal law that is designed to help
protect the privacy of that health information. This recently
implemented law is known as the
HIPAA
Privacy Rule.
The
Notice of Privacy Practices ("the Notice")
explains our use of your medical or health information. We hope
that the Notice helps you to understand the ways we use and protect
your health information.
In addition to the Notice of Privacy Practices, we have provided a few
links and forms to help you with your medical information at the
University of Chicago.
Sincerely,
Kerry Congdon DeMott
Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer
