!!Staff Shoutouts!!

  • Miigwech/Pidamaya/Thank you to everyone who helped at the Fall Harvest Health Fair! That was record timing for take down and we couldn’t have done it without the help of all of you!

  • Special shout out to Molly for her first ever large event going smoothly (as possible)! We are glad to have you on the team.

  • I would like to give a shoutout for Leah Innvaer! This is my second week here at NACC and she has gone above and beyond to make sure that I feel welcome and comfortable here. This has been one of the best onboarding experiences I have had at a new job and while everyone has been incredible and friendly I think that a lot of that is due to Leah’s effort to introduce me to everyone, joke around to help me feel comfortable, and make sure I’m getting everything I need even though her plate is incredibly full. She rocks!

  • Congratulations to Kristine Hill the new patient advocate for seamlessly stepping into her role and providing excellent client coverage for NACC clients.

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.

  • Respect Boundaries with Personal Acquaintances: Employees must not access medical records or information of friends or family. Accessing such information without a legitimate work-related reason is a violation of HIPAA and breaches patient trust.
