STUDENT CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTStudent Confidentiality Agreement • June 5th, 2020
Contract Type FiledJune 5th, 2020Patient or client confidentiality at the facilities used by the Oklahoma Baptist College of Nursing during clinical experiences is of primary importance. In addition to each facility policy, a federal law called the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires patient health information to be kept confidential. Additionally, patients and their families have a right to deal with their issues in a private and secure manner, trusting that their privacy will be maintained. In order to protect this right to confidentiality and to comply with federal and state laws, students must agree to hold all information (including but not limited to, patient names, their health information, and relevant agency information) gained through their clinical assignments or professional/research projects at any facility used by the Oklahoma Baptist College of Nursing in strictest confidence.
