At Albany Animal Hospital, we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of information entrusted to us by our clients and their pets.
While veterinary medical records are generally not subject to the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), we recognize the importance of maintaining strong privacy and information-security practices. We handle client and patient information with the same level of care, discretion, and professionalism expected of a healthcare organization.
We limit access to client and patient records to authorized team members who require the information to provide veterinary care, process services, communicate with clients, or perform necessary administrative and operational functions. We take reasonable measures to safeguard records, including information stored electronically and in physical form.
We do not disclose confidential client or patient information to unauthorized individuals or organizations except when permitted or required by applicable law, with the client's authorization, or when necessary to protect the health and safety of people or animals.
Our team members are expected to maintain confidentiality and use client and patient information appropriately. We also take reasonable precautions to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
By entrusting your pet's care to Albany Animal Hospital, you can expect us to treat your information with respect and to maintain appropriate standards of privacy and confidentiality.
