HIPAA Alert: Attention, NeHII Users -- Know What You Can & Cannot Access

The Nebraska Health Information Initiative (NeHII) is the secure, online, HIPAA-compliant Health Information Exchange created to serve the state of Nebraska. Currently more than 1,400 hospitals, medical clinics,  physicians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals across Nebraska participate in NeHII — including Methodist Health System.

To protect the security and privacy of patient information, NeHII access is limited to approved users only, and users must follow HIPAA regulations:

• Users may NOT access their own medical records through NeHII.

• Users may only access NeHII as part of their required job duties specific to treatment, payment and qualified healthcare operation purposes.

• Users may access or share only the minimum necessary information.
