-
A dental office needs to provide a copy of the privacy
policy to all staff and document that it has been distributed.
-
A dental office needs to select a privacy officer who will make many of the decisions involved in implementing
the office's privacy policy. A contact officer (who may be the same
person) needs to be selected to receive complaints.
-
A dental office needs to establish procedures for
disciplining staff members who violate the office's privacy policy.
-
A dental office needs to provide patients with a Notice
of Privacy Practices (See brochure-item BROC-PRIV1)
-
A dental office needs to make a good faith effort to obtain
a signature on an Acknowledgement of Receipt of Notice of
Privacy Practices (see form C-HIPAA).
-
A dental office needs to obtain a patient
authorization to use or disclose Protected Health Information (only if
if the office intends to use the information for purposes not
described in the office Notice of Privacy Practices)
-
If a dental office intends to share Protected Health
Information other than a referral for normal treatment, a Business
Associate Contract should be given to the entity receiving the
information. The office should obtain a copy of the contract.
