Jim Clardy, MD
Dr. Jim Clardy, MD, Director, UAMS Center for Graduate Medical Education, Professor of Psychiatry, received the HIPAA Compliance Champion award in celebration of Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week, Nov. 2019.
The HIPAA Office very much appreciates Dr. Clardy’s leadership related to an investigation and resolution of a HIPAA violation involving a trainee who impermissibly accessed the medical records of patients and had no legitimate reason to do so. Following that incident, Dr. Clardy took it upon himself to share some HIPAA reminders at a meeting of Deans and Chairs of departments, explaining that there was a recent HIPAA violation that was a career-limiting event for a trainee.
