Privacy incidents are urgent matters that pose immediate risks to confidentiality, privacy and security of patient information. If you know or suspect that a potential breach of protected health information (PHI) or a violation of UNC Health HIPAA policies has occurred you should report it immediately.
You may report privacy incidents through two methods:
| Incidents/Complaints | |
| Incidents | UNC Health has made patient privacy a top priority by implementing a series of Privacy and Information Security Policies and ensuring that our workforce is trained on these HIPAA policies annually. The UNC Health Privacy Office has been assigned the responsibility of investigating any potentially inappropriate use, access or disclosure of patient information. |
To report a known or suspected violation of patient privacy, please contact the UNC HealthS Privacy Office through the Online Reporting System. A member of our team will review your concerns and take appropriate internal action. You may choose to leave your contact information or report the incident anonymously.
