bulletWho is a HIPAA Hero?

A HIPAA Hero is someone who observes, or has information regarding an incident, administrative procedure, or practice that may violate our patients' privacy or confidentiality of their health information.  This person would contact the HIPAA Program Office (HPO) at 773-834-9716 or stop by L-147 to discuss the issue.  Sharing this information may prevent a HIPAA violation or a patient privacy breach from occurring now and in the future.
