HIPAA TIPS OF THE WEEK



6.9.08 TIP OF THE WEEK
As An Employee, May I Access My Own PHI (e.g. electronic, written)?

Your access to your own PHI must be based on the same procedures available to other patients not based on your job-related access to our information systems (e.g. OACIS, EPIC, LastWord).  For example, if you are waiting for a lab result or want to view a clinic note or operative report, you must either contact your physician for the information or make a written request to the Health Information Management (HIM) Department. 

Contact the HIPAA Program Office (HPO) at 4-9716 or HPO@bsd.uchicago.edu for more information.
