Protecting the personal information of our patients PHI (Protected Health Information) is important to NSI Nursing Service Inc. and we will endeavor to have the internal practices to ensure the safety and security of your PHI. We at NSI use your PHI for treatment, healthcare reimbursement, and healthcare operations. We maintain public policies and procedures along with staff education to better protect your personal health information. We do not allow anyone to enter our operations facilities unless they are part of our staff or they are escorted to an office area.
We have developed a policy and a written statement that all contractors and employees must sign that they will safeguard all information provided to them in the performance of their duties for NSI. We have developed internal practices to ensure our electronic data is as secure as possible. Each of our employees has their individual password (at least 8 characters/alpha numeric) to log onto the electronic information. We practice policies that computer screens do not remain open with PHI information if the employee is not occupying the computer and all computers are “locked” (requiring a password to reenter the system) if an employee leaves his or her Station/Office for any reason. These are just a few of the steps we take to protect your PHI.
NSI Nursing Service Inc. will abide by all laws, federal and state, related to the privacy of protected health information. We will abide by the terms in this notice provided to you, and we will endeavor to review our operations so as to do the very best that we can in protecting your health information.
