Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose health information about you for administrative and operational purposes. Members of the risk management or quality improvement teams may use health information about you to assess the care and outcomes in your case and others like it. The results will be used internally to continually improve the quality of care for all patients. For example, we may combine medical information about many patients to evaluate the need for new products, services, or treatments. We may disclose information to health care professionals, students, and other personnel for review and training purposes. We also may combine health information we have with other sources to see where we can make improvements. We may remove information that identifies you from this set of health information to protect your privacy and to allow others to use the information to study health care without learning the identity of the specific patients. We may also use and disclose medical information to: □ evaluate the performance of our staff and your satisfaction with our services; □ learn how to improve our facilities and services; □ determine how to continually improve the quality and effectiveness of the health care we provide; and □ conduct training programs or review competence of health care professionals.
