This data may include, but is not limited to, medical history, treatment plans, diagnostic information, and personal identifiers such as names, addresses, and contact details. We use this information solely for purposes directly related to patient care, treatment, billing, and healthcare operations.

Data Protection Measures

We employ a combination of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect patient data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our data protection measures include:

2. Patient Rights: Patients have the right to access their health records, request corrections, and obtain a record of disclosures of their information. They can also request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures.
3. Breach Notification: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have procedures in place to promptly notify affected patients and take appropriate steps to mitigate the impact.
4. Business Associate Agreements: We require all third-party service providers who handle patient information on our behalf to sign Business Associate Agreements, ensuring they also comply with HIPAA standards.
