Only authorized individuals who have a legitimate need to know or access confidential information should be able to do so. This typically includes employees who are directly involved in the organization's operations or management and have been granted explicit permission to access the information.

What is confidentiality according to HIPPA?

Confidentiality is the privacy and non sharing of anything in the medical record except between medical providers. For example, if I call your physician or hospital and ask what you were in for last time, or if I can have your address, that is all confidential and cannot be released without a consent from you or a legal guardian. If I am a physician, pharmacist or insurance company, I can ask to get pertinent information and it can be released to me, without your consent, because I am part of your health system and documents were signed at the beginning of the process by you to release this information.

The Confidentiality Agreement is used when one party (the "Owner") will disclose its valuable confidential information to someone else (the "Recipient"). This disclosure is "one way", not reciprocal. Make sure these terms are appropriate for your situation. As a practical matter, you should have several copies available and prepared in advance for meetings with potential recipients. It is far easier to get these signed in person than by mail when they have time to reflect upon it and may have various other parties in their organization possibly undermining your efforts to get it signed.2. Make sure that your information is marked to show the name of the owner and keep a record of the information that is disclosed. It may also be appropriate to label the information "Confidential". At the conclusion of the evaluation by the Recipient, the Owner should demand the return of disclosed information as provided in the agreement. Doing this in person makes all of this much easier from a practical point of view. In fact, you should make this an integral and important part of any Sales presentation and be sure your sales people have copies ready for signature.3. Laws vary from state to state and change over time, especially with regards to these kind of commercial and intellectual property restrictions. Before using this well care document, consider having a lawyer review it to make sure it complies with current regulations as they apply to your corporation in your state.4. Have the Recipient sign two copies. They keep one for their files; you keep the other for yours. If it should come to litigation at a later date, it will help your cause if they produce the signed document in discovery. We strongly recommend you keep a separate binder for Confidentiality Agreements and periodically review it to be sure all appropriate parties have signed it. Often, new parties will review your materials at the company of the original Recipient. You should make it an ongoing obligation of your sales people and your management to try to obtain these signatures when you visit or meet with the other parties. Do this in person for the best results. Mailing these documents both cuts down on the rate of obtaining signatures and tends to “put off” the potential signatory.
