12 HIPAA: PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
13 What is HIPAA? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 HIPAA provides federal government standards and requirements for maintaining and transmitting health information. It defines and protects information that identifies a patient.
14 Patient s Rights Patients have a right to know how their information is used, who their information has been shared with and have a right to privacy. Patients can restrict use and disclosure of health information.
15 Minimum Necessary Volunteers and staff have access to the minimum necessary information to do their job Reasonable Safeguards Take the necessary precautions to keep protected health information from unwanted disclosure
16 What is Protected Health Information? Patient Name Address Phone Number Birth Date Social Security Number Name of Relatives Medical Record Number address Name of employer Fax number Fingerprint Full-face photo
17 Where can breaches in confidentiality occur? At the Hospital Elevators Break rooms Shuttle bus Smoking hut Hallways Cafeteria Nurses stations In the Community Neighborhoods Churches Ball games Service organizations Parties Stores Clubs
18 What happens if there is a breach in confidentiality? The most common breach of confidentiality comes from loose talk, speaking openly in public spaces or in the community. Volunteers who breach confidentiality are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. There may be heavy civil and criminal fines for violation of the law for the hospital.
19 Your Role: paper, faxes, phones, computers Never leave paper information unattended Paper information includes admitting gift list, or any paper that has patient information When making copies, do not leave originals in the copy machine Carefully dispose of confidential information Grey shredding bins are located throughout the hospital Use fax and phone wisely Reasonably verify fax numbers, location of receiving fax machine, identify of person receiving fax. Do not leave originals in fax machine Reasonably verify phone number, identity of person(s) receiving voice mails Be careful with computers Never share or write down your password; log off if you leave. Do not send patient information (even names) on unsecured Make sure screens are not visible to those who should not have access
20 Your Role: Sharing Information Be careful with all oral communications who can hear your conversation? This includes other volunteers. Before sharing information, verify person s identity or check with the nurses station. Don t pass along information from patient to patient maintain their confidentiality Don t share information with patients extended family or friends Do not include PHI (such as patient name) in unsecured communications
21 Go to the Retraining Packet and take the Confidentiality/Privacy quiz Also, sign Confidentiality and Security Agreement
22 What are Boundaries? Boundaries help set limits. Boundaries let you know what is ok and what is not ok. Boundaries protect YOU and patients and families. Boundaries let you know how involved you can get. Boundaries helps you evaluate each situation and decide what to do. Boundaries helps you decide how to respond.
23 Know Your Boundaries ASK YOURSELF Is this part of my assigned volunteer role? Was I trained in this activity? Am I maintaining patient confidentiality? Could this activity present a safety risk for myself or the patients? How does your activity appear to other patients and families? Could someone feel offended or upset? Is this how I would want the situation handled if I were in the hospital? Who would I want to know about my personal situation? Unsure? ASK YOUR COORDINATOR OR FVS STAFF!
24 Know Your Boundaries Boundary Ground Rules Function within your assignment description and tasks you have been trained. Do not bring food or gifts to patients or families. Do not accept gifts from families. Do not offer to babysit in family homes. Volunteers are discouraged from socializing with patients or families outside the hospital setting. Do not personally provide transportation to patients and families. Do not provide your personal contact information to patients or families or accept contact information from them. Refrain from seeking medical information about patients. Maintain confidentiality in hospital and in community.
25 Boundaries and Social Media Volunteers are welcome to have social networking sites in their personal lives. Your experiences here at the hospital are covered under privacy and confidentiality laws and cannot be shared in a public forum, such as Facebook or Instagram. A volunteer cannot friend a patient or a family member, even after they are discharged. A volunteer cannot accept a friend request from a patient or a family member, even after they are discharged. The exception is if the patient or family member is a previous acquaintance.
26 Boundaries and Social Media You may not post photos of patients on any social media site, such as Facebook or Instagram. Always remember patient privacy is of top priority. There are many different scenarios and social media changes constantly. Just because we haven t listed a particular website or situation doesn t mean you shouldn t consider it. Think about the intent of the policy. We cannot have a rule for every situation. If a parent says it s okay, is it? Who might be at risk? Are you really friends with everyone in groups you belong to on Social Media? If you have a question, ask your coordinator.
27 Go to the Retraining Packet. Read and sign the Boundaries/Therapeutic Relationships form AND the Social Medial Policy
