Confidentiality 和 Privacy
埃蒙斯健康中心 (EWC) providers are required by their code of ethics, 加州法律, 《正规博彩十大网站排名推荐》(HIPAA)和《正规博彩十大网站排名推荐》(FERPA)来保护患者的隐私. 因为埃蒙斯在大学校园里运营，可以被指定为FERPA和HIPAA的“实体”, 在极少数情况下，学生的信息可以从校外提供商那里得到法律的更大保护.
Legal 和 Ethical St和ards
虽然EWC维护最高的隐私标准——加州隐私法，但FERPA规定了教育机构的隐私. FERPA信息——由教育机构收集的所有信息——分为两类: 教育 和 治疗 记录. 教育 记录 may be shared across campus on a “need to know" basis, 和 may be disclosed to off campus entities for “legitimate educational purposes." As is the case with 加州法律 和 HIPAA, disclosure of 治疗 记录, 无论是校内还是校外, requirse patient authorization.
隐私的免责条款
Because EWC providers must observe specific exclusions to privacy, they cannot guarantee the privacy of their patients in all situations. 在以下情况下，EWC提供者可以在未经患者许可或授权的情况下披露信息:
- To a third party, for the sake of billing.
- Among EWC Clinical staff, to improve the quality of care provided.
- For emergency care, to protect a patient from self-induced, life-threatening harm.
- 当法律要求或授权报告虐待儿童-包括故意接触非法的性图像-虐待老人, or dependent adult abuse.
- When required or authorized by law to contact law enforcement 和 warn a threatened person.
- In judicial proceedings, as ordered by a judge or court.
- To public health officials, if required to ensure safety.
Notice of Privacy Practices
学生将收到并签署一份隐私实践通知，该通知反映了该政策及其在他们每年第一次访问时声明的隐私排除情况. Notices will be reviewed annually, 和 approved by the Senior Director of Student 健康. Patients will be notified of substantial changes to the privacy policy.
埃蒙斯提供的一些医疗服务是由学生健康保险计划和第三方保险提供商计费的. 结果是, 健康中心的所有服务都属于《十大正规网赌平台》(HIPAA)。, 接受医疗和咨询服务的学生将收到反映HIPAA标准的通知.
知情同意
通过定义, 知情同意是指学生自愿接受治疗，并有能力了解自己作为EWC患者的权利, including privacy practices. EWC提供者将尽一切努力审查隐私做法，以确保真正告知医疗或心理护理的任何同意.
Disclosure of Information
任何信息披露——包括承认个人是EWC的病人——必须得到对EWC持有的医疗记录拥有法律特权的个人的授权，或者符合本政策中概述的排除标准. 此类授权将通过高级主管批准的信息发布表的知情同意方式进行.
The individual holding privilege may request that information be released at any point. Requests for information from any individual other than the holder of privilege (parent, 家庭成员, medical/mental health care provider) must receive the holder’s authorization.
Privacy 和 Communication
All email has little to no privacy or confidentiality. 埃蒙斯的工作人员将指导患者使用安全信息——一种保密和私人的通信方式. Students may access secure messages through the MyHealth Patient Portal
服务成本 & 计费
医疗
$10.00 co-pay for all non-preventive services for students with the Student Health Insurance

咨询
While Emmons does not 当前的ly have session limits, the average length of individual therapy is between 4-6 sessions; students are able to utilize as many group counseling sessions as they would like. All counseling services offered at Emmons are free of charge. In an effort to meet the dem和 和 see as many students as we can, we collaboratively work with students to determine the appropriate length 和 type of 治疗.
注意政策
埃蒙斯健康中心不写笔记的借口，任何错过的课程或作业与参与我们的服务.
学生有责任在生病或缺课时主动与教授联系. 健康中心不想干涉教授关于如何处理因病缺课的决定.
我们理解, 然而, 当学生生病或有传染性时，一段时间不上课是合适的，也是明智的. Please note our internal process regarding students experiencing moderate to severe illness:
- 在埃蒙斯健康中心寻求医疗保健服务的学生由医疗提供者评估当前疾病的严重程度. All students have access to a 'walk out statement' upon ending their visit at Emmons. This is proof that the student was seen at Emmons that day.
- In the case of a minor illness, where the student is late to class or misses class, 这取决于学生亲自联系他们的教授，并在下次班会提供他们的“退出声明”的副本，如果合适的话.
- 在中度到重度疾病的情况下，可能会导致几节课的缺课和需要特殊的住宿, the 健康 Center can notify the Dean of Students Office 和/ or the 体育运动 Department, with the student's written consent, 并让这些部门直接联系教授和/或教练，并建议因病需要住宿.
- 学生办公室和体育主任将传达一个适当的时间框架，学生可能需要学术住宿.
- 健康中心不遵循上述过程确定的学生追溯访问健康中心后，他们的疾病过程.
如上所述，如何/是否为缺课辩解最终取决于每个教授自己的判断.
