How To Report a Privacy or Compliance Concern
At Inspira Health, protecting patient information is a shared responsibility. If you discover a potential breach of protected health information (PHI), you must report it immediately to the Corporate Compliance department via phone or email. Inspira’s non-retribution policy ensures you will not face retaliation for reporting a breach of PHI or raising a HIPAA concern.
After you submit a report, a representative from Corporate Compliance will investigate and determine next steps, including whether patient notification is required. Please do not contact patients directly. If notification is needed, a Compliance team member will handle all communication to ensure compliance with regulations.
Common HIPAA/HITECH Act Issues To Report
You must report if you or someone you know has:
- Found unsecured patient information
- Lost or misplaced PHI
- Released PHI to an unauthorized person
- Received PHI not intended for you
- Had a laptop, tablet or USB drive stolen
- Sent or received a fax with PHI in error
If you experience or suspect any of these situations, please report them within 24 hours so the Compliance team can provide guidance.
