To Our Valued Patients:
The misuse of Personal Health Information (PHI) has been identified as a national problem causing patients
inconvenience, aggravation, and money. We want you to know that all of our
employees, managers and doctors continually undergo training so that they may
understand and comply with government rules and regulations regarding the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) with particular emphasis on
the “Privacy Rule.” We strive to achieve the very highest standards of
ethics and integrity in performing services for our patients.
It is our policy to properly determine appropriate uses of PHI in accordance with the governmental rules,
laws and regulations. We want to ensure that our practice never
contributes in any way to the growing problem or improper disclosure of PHI.
As part of this plan, we have implemented a Compliance Program that we believe
will help us prevent any inappropriate use of PHI.
We also know that we are not perfect! Because of this fact, our policy is to listen to our employees
and our patients without any thought of penalization if they feel that an event
in any way compromises our policy of integrity. More so, we welcome your
input regarding any service problem so that we may remedy the situation
promptly.
Thank you for being one of our
highly valued patients.
