Patient Information Privacy Policy

Patient Information Privacy

Personal health information(“PHI”)is information used to enable treatment, payment and healthcare operations. This type of information might include patient name, demographic info, photos, images, test results and case information. The general rule of thumb is that only those with a legitimate “need to know” work-related reason should access, use or disclose information so they can do their job. The level of access a person has does not allow the person to access more than they need to.

Unless required by federal and state laws, Tenet policies, or authorized by the patient, the unauthorized use or disclosure of a patient’s protected information is strictly prohibited. Consult Privacy and Security Compliance Officer for any questions.
