IEHP’s Role: IEHP’s HN team will visit selected schools regularly to support student referrals, provide healthcare navigation, and offer social and mental health resources. 3. Privacy and Compliance: The MOU includes a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement to ensure that any shared protected health information (PHI) adheres to federal privacy regulations, with specified protocols for data use, security, and potential breach reporting.
