22. What should we tell patients about the Notice of Privacy Practices?
When patients ask about the Notice, University Personnel should say: "This is the University's Notice of Privacy Practices. It describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to your medical information. Please review it carefully." University Personnel should never discourage patients from reading the Notice. University Personnel should not share any negative feelings about HIPAA with patients. Gripe among yourselves, but not to the patients!!
