Course Description
As Academic Medical Centers and Universities move in a direction to reduce costs and redundancies, unique challenges surface relating to the use and disclosure of protected health information for research. The lines become blurred when each is under common control and ownership and a shared services business model exists for certain functions. The key is the separation of responsibilities of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the Privacy Board, in relation to the data sets derived from the AMC’s electronic health records. The presentation will discuss the steps that VCU Health System has undertaken to address the challenges, leverage shared services, streamline processes for Principal Investigators, and develop practices to comply with the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules.
