ACKNOWLEDGEMENT STATEMENT

I fully understand that any significant misstatements in, or omissions from this application constitute cause for denial of appointment or cause for summary dismissal from the Medical Staff. All information submitted by me in this application is true to my best knowledge and belief. In making this application for appointment to the staff of this facility, I acknowledge that I have received and read the Bylaws, rules and regulations of the medical staff of this facility, and I am familiar with the principles and standards of the accreditation agencies for hospital(s) and the principles, standards and the ethics of the national, state and local associations that apply to and govern my specialty and/or profession, I agree to be bound by the terms thereof without regard to whether or not I am granted membership or clinical privileges in all matters relating to the consideration of my application for appointment to the staff, and I further agree to abide by such facility and staff rules and regulations as may be from time to time enacted. I hereby further authorize and consent to the release of information by this facility, or its medical staff, to other hospitals, medical associations and other interested persons on request regarding any information the facility and the medical staff may have concerning me as long as such release of information is done in good faith and without malice, and I hereby release from liability this facility and its staff for so doing. I understand and agree that I, as an applicant for medical staff membership, have the burden of producing adequate information for proper evaluation of my professional competence, character, ethics and other qualifications and for resolving any doubts about such qualifications. By applying for appointment to the staff I hereby signify my willingness to appear for the interviews in regard to my application, authorize the facility, its medical staff and their representatives to consult with administrators and members of medical staff of other hospitals, facilities or institutions with which I have been associated and with others, including past and present malpractice carriers, who may have information bearing on my professional competence, character and ethical qualifications. I hereby further consent to the inspection by the facility, its medical staff and its representatives of all records and documents, including medical records, at other hospitals, that may be material to an evaluation of my professional qualifications and competence to carry out the clinical privileges requested as well as my moral and ethical qualifications for staff membership. I hereby release from liability all representatives of the facility and its medical staff for their acts performed in good faith and without malice in connection with evaluating my application and my credentials and qualifications and I hereby release from liability any and all individuals and organizations who provide information to the facility, or its medical staff, in good faith and without malice concerning my professional competence, ethics, character and other qualifications for staff appointment and clinical privileges, and I hereby consent to the release of such information. I am informed and acknowledge that federal and state laws provide immunity protections to certain individuals and entities for their acts and/or communications in connection with evaluating the qualifications of healthcare providers. I hereby release all persons and entities, including this Healthcare Organization, engaged in quality assessment, peer review and credentialing on behalf of this Healthcare Organization, from any liability they might incur for their acts and/or communications in connection with evaluation of my qualifications for participation in this Healthcare Organization, to the extent that those acts and/or communications are protected by state or federal law. I will not participate in any form of fee-splitting, rebates, commissions, bonuses, kickbacks or any other form of monetary gain given as a result of having made a patient referral. Moreover, I pledge myself to shun unwarranted publicity, dishonest money-seeking, and commercialism; to refuse money trades with consultants, practitioners, makers of surgical appliances and instruments, or others; to teach the patient his financial duty to the physician and to expect the practitioner to obtain his compensation directly from the patient; to make fees commensurate with the service rendered and with the patient's rights; and to avoid discrediting my associates by taking unwarranted compensation.

I have not requested privileges for any procedures for which I am not certified. Furthermore, I realize that certification by a board does not necessarily qualify me to perform certain procedures. However, I believe that I am qualified to perform all procedures for which I have requested privileges. My physical and mental health status has not changed and I am physically and mentally able to exercise the privileges which I have requested for the ensuing year. I am fully able to carry out the responsibilities of my appointment to the Medical Staff to perform the clinical duties and essential job functions with or without reasonable accommodations. I promise to notify the facility medical director immediately should I develop drug or alcohol dependence, should a malpractice claim be made against me, or should my hospital privileges be suspended, revoked, restricted, limited, terminated, denied or not renewed.

CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT

The Governing Body and staff of the center deem confidentiality of Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI is any information, whether oral or recorded in any form or medium (a) that relates to the past, present or future physical or mental condition of an individual; the provision of health care to an individual; or the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual; and (b) that identifies the individual, or with respect to which there is a reasonable basis to believe the information can be used to identify the individual.

The patient and the organization have the right to expect that PHI will be treated as confidential.

Strict confidentiality requirements are enforced to assure that medical records are used within this facility only by recipients authorized under HIPAA or authorized by the patient. Board and committee meeting minutes and facility business activities are kept strictly confidential.

Information, which is considered to be privileged, may not be released to anyone without the written authorization of the patient unless required by law.

Information which is considered non-privileged is that which has been de-identified, i.e., names, addresses, patient numbers, admission or procedure dates have been removed. However, discretion must be exercised in release of non-privileged information.

All employees will monitor facility compliance with HIPAA Confidentiality Standards in securing patient charts, work area safeguards and electronic security.

Prohibition on Sale of PHI

This organization will not accept remuneration for PHI without the individual’s authorization (unless it is to recoup the costs of providing data to a public health official, to a researcher, or to the individual himself, or meets certain other exceptions).

Restriction on Marketing

This organization will not send an individual marketing material and get paid for it, unless he authorizes it or she is taking the medicine being marketed.

This organization will not send an individual marketing materials for free, unless he authorizes it or the communication is made for certain purposes (e.g., to describe a product available in the health plan or to recommend alternative health care options).

Satisfaction of “Minimum Necessary”

Whenever sufficient to carry out the purpose for which PHI is being used or disclosed, this organization will use or disclose PHI in the form of a “limited data set.” This requirement is satisfied by removing names, street addresses, social security number and other identifiers. “Individually identifiable health information” is information, including demographic data, that relates to:

• the individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition,

• the provision of health care to the individual, or

• the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual.

Individuals’ Rights

• Electronic health records (EHRs), will be provided to the patient individual (or his designee) upon request with a copy of

the information in such EHR in electronic format.

• EHRs will be provided to the patient upon request with an account of disclosures of the information in his EHR during the

last three years, including disclosures made for treatment, payment or health care operations.

For covered entities who acquired an EHR after January 1, 2009, this requirement will apply to disclosures from such record made on or after January 1, 2011.

For covered entities who acquired an EHR on or before January 1, 2009, this requirement will apply to disclosures from such a record made on or after January 1, 2014.

This organization will honor the request of an individual not to disclose to his health plan the PHI related to a particular

treatment if the individual is paying for the full cost of the treatment out-of-pocket.

Business Associates shall enter into agreement with this organization to be notified whenever “unsecured” PHI is breached. Such notification shall be made without unreasonable delay and in any event within 60 days of discovery (or within 60 days of the date the breach should have been discovered). The notice must identify each individual whose unsecured PHI is breached. It should also contain the information necessary for the covered entity to satisfy its notification obligations with respect to each affected individual.

Violations of HIPAA regulations can result in sanctions against the medical staff members, employees and facility. Enforcement is handled through the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office for Civil Rights. Information regarding sanctions can be found through their website at www.hhs.gov

I have read and understand the above confidentiality statement and recognize my obligation to safeguard records against unauthorized or inadvertent disclosures, loss, tampering, alteration or destruction. I, _________________________________ (name printed) understand this is condition of staff appointment and will make a concerted effort to protect the privacy and rights of all parties concerned.

This confidentiality statement will be retained in the appropriate Medical Staff/Human Resources Personnel File and signed annually.

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

It is the responsibility of all employees, medical staff, allied health staff, students and volunteers, to preserve and protect confidential patient, employee and business information. The federal Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (the “Privacy Rule”), as well as individual state codes govern the release of patient identifiable information by hospitals and other health care providers and the acquisition and use of data that pertains to individuals. All of these laws establish protections to preserve the confidentiality of various medical and personal information and specify that such information may not be disclosed except as authorized by law or the patient or individual. Confidential Patient Care Information includes: Any individually identifiable information in possession or derived from a provider of health care regarding a patient's medical history, mental, or physical condition or treatment, as well as the patients and/or their family members records, test results, conversations, research records and financial information. (Note: this information is defined in the Privacy Rule as “protected health information.”) Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Physical medical and psychiatric records including paper, photo, video, diagnostic and therapeutic reports, laboratory and pathology samples;

• Patient insurance and billing records; • Mainframe and department based computerized patient data and alphanumeric radio pager messages; • Visual observation of patients receiving medical care or accessing services; and • Verbal information provided by or about a patient

Confidential Employee and Business Information includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Employee home telephone number and address: • Spouse or other relative names; • Social Security number or income tax withholding records; • Information related to evaluation of performance; • Other such information obtained from the patient’s records which if disclosed, would constitute unwarranted invasion of

privacy; or • Disclosure of Confidential business information that would cause harm to the Center.

Peer review and risk management activities and information are protected under the attorney-client privilege. I understand and acknowledge that:

1. I shall respect and maintain the confidentiality of all discussions, deliberations, patient care records and any other information generated in connection with individual patient care, risk management and/or peer review activities.

2. It is my legal and ethical responsibility to protect the privacy, confidentiality and security of all medical records, proprietary information and other confidential information relating to the Center and its affiliates, including business, employment and medical information relating to our patients, members, employees and health care providers.

3. I shall only access or disseminate patient care information in the performance of my assigned duties and where required by or permitted by law, and in a manner which is consistent with officially adopted policies of the Center, or where no officially adopted policy exists, only with the express approval of my supervisor or designee. I shall make no voluntary disclosure of any discussion, deliberations, patient care records or any other patient care, peer review or risk management information, except to persons authorized to receive it in the conduct of the Center affairs.

4. My user ID is recorded when I access electronic records and that I am the only one authorized to use my user ID. Use of my user ID is my responsibility whether by me or anyone else. I will only access the minimum necessary information to satisfy my job role or the need of the request.

5. I agree to discuss confidential information only in the work place and only for job related purposes and to not discuss such information outside of the work place or within hearing of other people who do not have a need to know about the information.

6. I understand that any and all references to HIV testing, such as any clinical test or laboratory test used to identify HIV, a component of HIV, or antibodies or antigens to HIV, are specifically protected under law and unauthorized release of confidential information may make me subject to legal and/or disciplinary action.

7. I understand that the law specially protects psychiatric and drug abuse records, and that unauthorized release of such information may make me subject to legal and/or disciplinary action.

8. My obligation to safeguard patient confidentiality continues after my termination of employment with the Center. I, , hereby acknowledge that I have read and understand the foregoing information and that my signature below signifies my agreement to comply with the above terms. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the Confidentiality Agreement, I acknowledge that the Center may, as applicable and as it deems appropriate, pursue disciplinary action up to and including my termination.

Physician Orientation Informing Patient/Care Person of Serious Adverse Event

This organization has appointed a Patient Safety Officer to work with you and your patients in the event of a serious adverse event.

As the physician, it is your job to inform the patient and/or care person of the adverse event as soon as possible after the event occurs. In addition, you must also inform the patient and/or care person of all potential damage due to the adverse event.

Document the date and time that the patient and/or care person were informed of the serious adverse event, as well as all relative data, including notes of this interview, in the patient’s chart.

All adverse events are reported to the Risk Manager Designee and then to the Licensed Risk Manager through an Adverse Incident Report completed by the staff person involved in the incident. In the event that no staff person is directly involved in the adverse event, the staff person witnessing the event will complete the form. Each quarter, the Licensed Risk Manager will provide a report of all adverse events occurring that quarter which will be presented to the Board.

The following adverse/sentinel events are required to be reported to the State. They may also be required to be reported to your accrediting agency, but should be addressed with the accreditation agency on a per occurrence basis.

• Death • Brain Damage • Spinal Damage • Procedure performed on the wrong surgical site • Procedure performed on the wrong patient • Wrong procedure performed • Surgical procedure unrelated to the patient’s diagnosis • Surgical procedure to remove foreign objects remaining from a surgical procedure • Surgical repair of injuries from a planned surgical procedure

Involvement in any of the above listed adverse incidents required to be reported to the State will automatically initiate a Peer Review Process.

PROCESS FOR INFORMING THE CARE PERSON:

1. Request that the care person(s) be escorted to a private location for the disclosure conversation. 2. Request that at the least, one other person (i.e., the Patient Safety Officer or RM Designee) is in attendance to witness the

conversation. 3. Introduce (re-introduce) self and attending staff. 4. If possible, request that everyone be seated. 5. Remind the care person(s) of the original surgical/procedural plan and describe events, but not techniques, in lay terms leading up

to the adverse event. 6. Advise the care person(s) of the occurrence of the adverse event, as well as the result of the adverse event in a clear, concise

manner using simple, straight forward terms to the extent possible. 7. Anticipate possible upset and be empathetic. Be truthful and transparent. 8. Solicit and answer questions as straightforwardly as possible. 9. Discuss remedial actions and plan to include any financial considerations such as costs to cover the remedial plan. 10. Acknowledge the care person’s feelings and provide adjunct assistance as needed; i.e., other family members, minister. 11. Document events as discussed above.

PROCESS FOR INFORMING THE PATIENT:

1. Request that the patient be escorted to a private location for the disclosure conversation. 2. Determine patient’s level of recovery from anesthesia. 3. Review the original surgical/procedural plan and describe events, but not techniques, in lay terms leading up to the adverse event. 4. Disclose the occurrence and result of the adverse event, as well as any damages and corrective actions that are being or will be

taken in a clear, concise manner using lay terms to the extent possible. Speak simply and straightforwardly. 5. Advise patient that his/her care person(s) has/have been notified and when they will be reunited with them. 6. Briefly discuss remedial plan. 7. Document events as discussed above.
