HIPAA TOPIC: Securing Patient Information

  • Use Encrypted Email and Messaging : When sending patient information electronically, always use encrypted email to send patient information. When using messaging or chat please use patient initials.

  • Verify Recipient Identity: Before sharing any patient information, always verify the identity of the recipient including confirming name and date of birth.

  • Minimize Information Shared: Share only the minimum necessary information required for the purpose of the communication. Avoid disclosing any additional personal details unless absolutely necessary.
