MINIMUM NECESSARY STANDARD ScrubUP accesses, uses, and discloses Protected Health Information ("PHI") only to the minimum extent necessary to perform Platform functions. NO PHI IN SHIFT POSTINGS Facilities are prohibited from including any patient PHI in shift postings, messages, or any other content submitted to the Platform. ScrubUP may immediately remove any content containing PHI posted in violation of this restriction. PROFESSIONAL PHI ACCESS Healthcare Professionals accessing patient PHI during a Shift do so as agents of the Facility, not of ScrubUP. ScrubUP is not a healthcare provider and does not access clinical records. BREACH NOTIFICATION In the event of a confirmed breach of unsecured PHI involving ScrubUP systems, ScrubUP will notify affected individuals, Facilities, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as required by the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (45 CFR §§ 164.400–414).
