HIPAA Adherence

All students are expected to comply with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) as applied to clinical education.

Failure to adhere to these expectations may result in immediate removal from a clinical setting and additional academic sanctions, including course failure and dismissal.

Specifically, it is expected that all students in the Conway School of Nursing complete HIPAA training required by clinical partners prior to participating in clinical practicum or rotations. HIPAA training is provided in class, with web support suggested at that time. The Catholic University HIPAA policies are noted at http://counsel.catholic.edu/hipaa/publications/index.cfm.

Students are expected to maintain the privacy of individually identifiable health information (IIHI).
