I agree that: a) I shall not share this information, material or documents (information) with persons within or outside of the ________ who are not authorized to have this information. b) I shall not publish such information. c) I shall not communicate such information without authority.
HIPAA can also apply internationally when a covered entity or business associate shares PHI with an overseas third party. In this scenario, the overseas third party becomes a business associate and must comply with applicable HIPAA Rules.
Under HIPAA, there are now fines and penalties for this. We treat privacy seriously, which is why every volunteer and team member is required to sign a confidentiality form. A breach of privacy may result in termination. Wrongful and willful disclosure of health information carries fines and can involve jail time.
A confidentiality agreement should include the names and addresses of the parties to the contract. Consider also including: Reason for the agreement: Explain why you're sharing this information. The information disclosed: Be specific about the subject matter and what exactly is included in the agreement.
Under Texas law, a non-disclosure agreement is enforceable even if it is coupled with an unenforceable non compete agreement or invalid non-solicitation provision.
