The Office of Healthcare Compliance & Privacy, based at UConn Health, focuses on the implementation of a Healthcare Compliance and Privacy Program directly relevant to operations and patient care in clinical environments and related business functions. Within the Office, the Compliance team serves as a resource for all members of the UConn Health community in providing education and guidance on healthcare compliance matters and responding to reports of alleged non-compliance with related laws, federal healthcare program requirements, and institutional policies.
The Privacy team serves as a resource to workforce members and patients alike, responding to privacy-related questions and concerns, providing education and guidance on HIPAA and other federal and state privacy laws, and investigating suspected privacy incidents.
Together, the Office monitors healthcare-related government enforcement and auditing trends, implements internal proactive monitoring and auditing activities, tracks metrics for ongoing adherence to requirements, and leverages data to evolve UConn Health’s Healthcare Compliance and Privacy Program in targeted areas.
