FAQ Corner<br />

Why should we have confidentiality agreements with our employees?<br />

The purpose of the employee confidentiality agreement is to ensure that an employee of a provider will<br />

maintain the confidentiality of protected health information. Employers that are regulated under HIPAA<br />

typically require employees to sign an employee confidentiality agreement to verify that they know the<br />

rules and restrictions on patient data. It also helps document that the employer took the necessary steps<br />

to educate employees about the HIPAA policy for employees. The employee confidentiality agreement<br />

can help protect organizations from claims that employees were not advised and trained on rules and<br />

regulations in the event of a disclosure.<br />
