Individual Authorization and Control Sample Clauses

Individual Authorization and Control. 1. North Coast Care Connect brings together Participants that serve their Individuals in different ways and that are subject to different legal frameworks affecting how they may use and disclose their Individuals’ personal information. For example, Participants that are health care providers must comply with the HIPAA Privacy Rule, among others, while other Participants such as housing counselors do not. Therefore, North Coast Care Connect allows Individuals to choose whether or not to have their information (beyond what State and Federal laws allow Participant to share without authorization for some sharing of information) accessible through North Coast Care Connect. North Coast Care Connect permits information sharing without the Individual’s authorization when applicable laws and regulations permit that sharing without authorization. Individuals may choose to authorize that expanded data sharing among Participants by completing the North Coast Care Connect Authorization Form. NCHIIN has developed this form and will be responsible for revising this form as necessary to comply with new laws, regulations, or changes to existing laws and regulations that apply the use and disclosure of Individuals’ personal information by Participants. NCHIIN will notify all Participants if and when the forms are revised. 2. Each Participant is responsible, at the time of first contact, to notify Individuals of their right to choose to authorize expanded information sharing among Participants and to offer the opportunity to sign this form (available online and on paper). Other forms of authorization are not sufficient (for example, authorizations given by telephone or on other forms). The Participant is to discuss the authorization with the Individual and if necessary, help that Individual to make necessary selections and sign the document properly. At that time, the Participant will share with the Individual the current list of Participants who may receive the Individual’s information as a result of that authorization. NCHIIN will maintain a current copy of this list at [insert webpage] and will notify Participants by e-mail when the list changes. a) Online authorization forms are available within North Coast Care Connect.
