6. Affiliation Agreement Notification Requirement
The Program also incorporates the following affiliation-agreement requirement:
The parties will notify one another if there are known breaches of this confidentiality.
Accordingly, a student who becomes aware of an actual or suspected breach involving patient, student, University, or clinical-affiliate confidential information must immediately notify the appropriate Program and/or clinical-site authority.
The student must not attempt to independently investigate, conceal, delete, alter, or destroy evidence related to a suspected breach.
The Program will coordinate with the appropriate University and clinical-affiliate officials regarding required reporting, investigation, mitigation, and follow-up.
7. Business Associate Provisions The NLU PA Program recognizes the affiliation-agreement provision addressing circumstances in which the University or another educational institution is determined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights, or another authorized federal or state agency, court, or administrative tribunal to be a HIPAA Business Associate .
Where such a determination applies, NLU will comply with the applicable conditions and requirements established through the affiliation agreement and applicable law.
Students shall follow any additional privacy, security, documentation, or information-handling requirements communicated by NLU or the clinical affiliate.
