Content Validation Declaration and HIPAA Compliance Form

From: REACH Burn Foundation Activity Committee
RE: HIPAA Compliance and CME Activity Materials
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) states that patient records and photos used in teaching must be stripped of all “direct identifiers” such as name, address, social security number, patient ID number, identifiable photographic images, etc., or that you have written authorization from the patient to use their directly identifiable health information for this purpose. The REACHBF CME Activity Committee requires you, as a presenter participating in a CME activity, to verify by way of your signature below that your presentation materials meet these HIPAA standards. Presentation materials include, but are not limited to, handouts, slides, PowerPoint presentations, videos and reproductions of journal articles. Please feel free to ask the CME Activity Committee if you have any questions or need additional information. Thank you for your participation and cooperation.
