Who 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.
