Patient Information Access and Management Policies

- General information
- Accessing patient information in order to prepare a research protocol
- Use of patient information to identify and/or contact potential research subjects
- Request for access to data on deceased individuals
- Request for access to clinical information of subjects enrolled in a clinical trial
- Access to health system data for retrospective data review
Protect information, when emailing outside of the medical center use secure email.
