Your use of the System and its features and components is subject to Licensor’s Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into this Agreement and may be accessed via the following link: [insert link to Privacy Policy]

  1. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

A. General Duty of Compliance. You will at all times use the System and the Contents, and perform Your obligations under this Agreement, in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to provision of health care services and payment for such services, including in particular, but without limitation, laws relating to confidentiality of patient-related information, and laws governing medical services or supplies (collectively “Applicable Laws”).

B. HIPAA; Privacy and Security of PHI. Without limiting the foregoing, You agree to assume sole and complete responsibility for ensuring that Your use of the System and the Contents are at all times during the term of this Agreement in compliance with the security and privacy requirements of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), to the extent that You may have access to “PHI” as defined below.

HIPAA is an important federal law that affects how healthcare organizations handle confidential health information. The privacy provisions of HIPAA, and regulations promulgated thereunder (45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164) regulate the fundamental principle of protecting patient confidentiality and privacy. The purpose of the HIPAA privacy provision is to define and limit the circumstances in which an individual’s protected health information (PHI) may be used or disclosed. HIPAA and its regulations specify that when PHI must be disclosed for healthcare operations, disclosure of PHI is limited to the “minimum necessary” standard – the minimum or least amount of information is disclosed that is necessary for the situation. PHI, whether oral, electronic or paper, must be protected at all times. HIPAA and related regulations (45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Subparts A and C of Part 164) also includes provisions that address information security, requiring procedures are in place to ensure PHI is “secure” from unauthorized use/access, inappropriate destruction, etc.


All users of this System, including You, must comply with HIPAA. Therefore, You shall not access, distribute, discuss or read PHI, except in those situations where the information needs to be accessed, distributed, discussed or read in order to successfully complete a relevant job duty. In these situations, the information will be read and discussed discreetly and not shared in any way with others not needing the information. Any information that is printed containing PHI must be shredded thoroughly or secured in a safe, discrete location when done.

You must also use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the security of any PHI and prevent unauthorized use and/or disclosure of such PHI.

  1. AGREEMENT REVISIONS AT ANY TIME

Licensor reserves the right to update or modify this Agreement at any time without prior notice. Updated versions of this Agreement will appear in the System.

ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE SYSTEM OR CONTENT TERMINATES THE LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FURTHER ACTION.
