Privacy Policy
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware
of the need for privacy and security when
storing personal information online. When
it comes to healthcare, the situation is
no different. At a national level, the healthcare
industry is moving toward electronic storage
of medical records. As this situation progresses,
laws have been enacted to honor the privileged
nature of information exchanged between
patients and their doctors. HIPAA, the guiding
rule of law on patient privacy, asserts
that safeguards must be in place for "protected
health information", defined by that
same law as "individually identifiable
information." (45 CFR 160.103)
When you visit a healthcare provider or
pharmacy, you will receive a Notice of Privacy
Practices that details your privacy rights
under HIPAA including how your information
may be used and disclosed. The notice also
explains who may have access to your information.
The healthcare provider or pharmacy will
require you to sign a statement affirming
that you received this notice.
In order to help you build a thorough and
accurate health record for yourself using
NoMoreClipboard.com, you may want to obtain
copies of your medical records. We suggest
you contact your healthcare providers to
determine what information can be made available
to you.
NoMoreClipboard.com was designed to support
the privacy and security requirements of
HIPAA while enabling you to use the service
from any computer with Internet access.
This service allows you to store, change,
and direct your information to healthcare
providers, as well as generate a report
showing to whom you have sent your information.
As it pertains to NoMoreClipboard.com, our
responsibilities are to make the information
you provide on our site available to you,
and to administer the system to ensure that
your privacy and security are protected.
