Security and HIPPA
| Q: | Can I give my password to someone else to enter orders or navigate ICIS? |
| A: | Under no circumstance, are you allowed to give out your password to any one else. |
| Q: | Can SACH track who has accessed a patient’s chart? |
| A: | Yes. All users will be required to assign a relationship to the patient. Physicians will be required to assign a relationship the FIRST time you enter a patient’s chart. Through ICIS, audits will be run to assure the compliance of all HIPPA regulations and patient confidentiality. Beginning in 2010, SACH will be required by law to show proof that we are conducting regular and random audits. |

| A: | Yes. A physician can be fined up to $250,000 for violations. |
| Q: | Who is responsible for HIPPA violations committed by his/her office staff? |
| A: | The physician. |
