SOP No. 901: Safeguarding Protected Health Information

This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes the steps taken to ensure that subject protected health information (PHI) is kept confidential and access to such information is limited to authorized research staff for approved purposes only. Access to confidential information should only be permitted for direct subject management, administrative oversight, or with Institutional Board approval. Maintaining high standards of conduct with respect for the privacy of individuals and the confidentiality of information is essential for all personnel involved with the conduct of clinical research.

SOP No. 902: Information Access Control

This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes the steps taken to ensure that subject protected health information (PHI) is controlled and access to such information is limited to authorized research staff for approved purposes only. Adequate password protection is vital to safeguarding PHI and must be limited to research staff who require access to this information.  Therefore, each user of PHI will be identified and allowed access to information based on his/her assigned password.
