HeartSmart EKG Confidentiality *
We assure the students and parents participating in the HeartSmart EKG screening protocol of their right to privacy of person and records according to the laws of confidentiality. We recognize that as providers of services and processors of medical patient records, we have a committment, an obligation, and a responsibility to protect their privacy of all information that we receive in the process. I understand that the performance of my volunteer work may directly, or indirectly, result in my gaining knowledge of confidential patient or organizational information. All medical, personal, or organization information, whether written, computerized, oral, or tangible in any other way is deemed confidential and will be treated as such. All users given access to information regarding participants in the HeartSmart EKG screening program will keep confidential all information made available to them regarding medical, demographic, and organizational data. I have read the position on confidentiality and security of participant information and I understand any violation, whether intentional or unintentional, may result in my immediate removal from the program.
