Health Information Privacy

Florida International University is committed to protecting the privacy of patients who receive care and treatment at the University’s health care facilities. The University’s framework to protect the privacy of patient information derives from its responsibilities and obligations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and implementing regulations (HIPAA), the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (FERPA), and other federal and state laws that apply to this information.
