Common use of Patient Privacy Clause in Contracts

Patient Privacy. Records Provider shall ensure that the Patient Records are transferred to Purinix in an irreversibly anonymous manner. If and to the extent Records Provider discovers that any transferred Patient Records include any identifiable “Patient Health Information,” as such term is defined under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the Parties shall cooperate in an effort to de-identify the Patient Records consistent with the Safe Harbor approach required by §164.514 of HIPAA. Purinix shall only be entitled to take copies of the Patient Records and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall oblige Records Provider to deliver to Purinix any original documents containing Patient Records.
