The Model Privacy Policies and Procedures for Resident Information create standards for Assisted Living providers, drawing on HIPAA and California laws governing patient information in the health care setting to give guidance regarding the proper use and disclosure of resident information. The Model is suitable for companies that do not yet have their resident information privacy policy in place, and for Assisted Living executives who seek to refine their current company policies.
What Is Included
The Model is a 43-page, customizable Word document that covers the following topics:
- Use of personal information within the provider
- Disclosure of personal information outside the provider
- Special privacy protections for residents
- Electronic communications
- Security incidents and breaches
- Complaint process
- Workforce training and discipline
The Model is accompanied by an introduction that explains the rationale and summarizes applicable legal standards.
Charges
The base price is $250 for CALA members and $500 for non-members plus $50 for each Assisted Living community that a provider operates in California. The maximum total is $1000 for CALA members and $1500 for non-members.
