Confidentiality Statement & Health Information Policy
If you are a member of the workforce in
any of UF's medical components or affiliated entities, then you are required
to sign UF's Confidentiality Statement within 5 days of joining the workforce
or student body, and annually thereafter.
Workforce members include:
- Faculty, Staff, Students, and Volunteers
- Third Parties under the direct control of a UF medical component,
- Whether full-time or part-time, temporary or permanent, paid or not paid
If you are an Official Visitor, you must complete
the Confidentiality Statement before beginning any activities at UF.
Step 1: Read the UF Health Information Policy (click here)
Step 2: Read and "sign" the Confidentiality Statement (click here) (i.e., read, scroll to the bottom, check the three boxes, then enter your information in the Registration Form).
Completing the form online will enter your data in the Privacy Office database so that you can get copies of the completed form as needed.
By entering your personal information in the Registration Form, you are agreeing to maintain the confidentiality of patient health information created, received, and maintained by the University of Florida as stated in the Confidentiality Statement.
Use your UF ID# or a pseudo-number to register your completion of
the Confidentiality Statement.
If you have NOT been assigned a UF ID# you may use ####-0000. Replace the
first 4 digits with some set of numbers that you will remember, such as
part of a phone #, birth date, or Social Security #.
If you have a UF ID# but have forgotten it, please go to:
http://www.it.ufl.edu/ufid/wmufid.html
If required by your college, department, division, or clinic, you may print the completed Confidentiality Statement and give a copy to the person responsible for maintaining personnel or student records in your area. Review the policy and sign the statement again at least once every 12 months.
If you supervise workforce members who do not have access to a computer, please arrange to have them "sign" the Confidentiality Statement online when they are first hired and annually thereafter.
If you have any questions or problems with the site, please call the Privacy
Office at 352-273-5094 or email epeele@ufl.edu
