Confidentiality of Patient Information
Each BHCLR student receives HIPAA training and signs the Compliance Statement Form during new
student orientation.

The school copy of the signed document is filed in the student academic file, and the student retains the
"Student Copy" for his or her records.
Confidentiality of student and patient records is managed to assure the right of individual privacy. The
student will maintain HIPAA at all times. A student should only access a patient’s record when actively
involved in the care of the patient.

Consent for Invasive Procedure
During the process of skills acquisition, specific to a BHCLR school, students may practice selected
invasive clinical skills on a classmate:

 Two skills, injection and venipuncture, which involve piercing the skin, are defined as invasive
procedures. A student who participates without objection, in a clinical skill acquisition learning
experience that involves an invasive procedure performed by another student or a faculty
member, implies consent of the procedure.

 A student who does not participate may be, at faculty discretion, given another method of skill
demonstration; however, different processes and evaluations (grading) may apply.

Cooperation with Security and Law Enforcement
The college cooperates with the respective security departments of BH. It also cooperates with law
enforcement officials by assisting them in a request for information; to serve a warrant; to serve a
subpoena; to respond to subpoenas for applicant, student and graduate records; to make an arrest; to
conduct authorized searches; or to conduct other business of the court, police, sheriff departments, and
state and national regulating agencies.

Corrective action may result from law enforcement investigations and outcomes, Baptist Health security
department investigation and outcomes, and internal investigations and outcomes.
The student is contacted by a college administrator in the event a law enforcement officer, court official
or BH Security officer arrives to conduct investigative, legal or other official business. In the interest of
public protection, BHCLR cooperates fully with all law enforcement and regulating agencies.
