Paper records and any printed radiographic images are also the property of the College and should be secured at all times. Under no circumstances is any PHI to be removed from the building. If it has been determined that a student has removed or disclosed any patient information or supporting materials (e.g. lab work) from the building, the student is subject to losing his/her clinic privileges for a period of no less than three (3) weeks.
Examples of PHI include: patient names, phone numbers, written notes, photos, treatment plan worksheets, models and grade/evaluation forms. PHI may not be left unattended on the counters or other areas. Documents printed from the electronic health record (EHR) must be placed in a locked shred bin for destruction.
