University HIPAA Policy: What It Means for Your Research

The Office of Responsible Research Practices, Wexner Medical Center Compliance and Integrity, Wexner Medical Center Information Technology and Security, and the Office of the Chief Information Officer, Enterprise Security, are offering a session on the new university HIPAA policy. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

• Understand how the new university policy “HIPAA and Protected Health Information” applies to research
• Define “Research Health Information (RHI)” and identify appropriate security protections
• List the mechanisms by which HIPAA-protected data (PHI) may be disclosed as RHI for research purposes
• Apply these concepts to real-world examples of research
