For example, a physician may use the information in your medical record to determine which treatment option, such as a drug or surgery, best addresses your health needs. This information is documented in your medical record so that other health care providers may make informed decisions about your care. As required by Illinois and Wisconsin law we will obtain your authorization before disclosing psychotherapy notes or HIV test results to other health care professionals for treatment purposes.

Payment. We may use or disclose your PHI to bill and collect payment from you, your insurance company or other parties responsible for paying for your services. For example, we may disclose your diagnosis, treatment plan, results, and/or treatment progress to your health insurer in order to receive payment, unless otherwise restricted as further described in this notice. As required by Illinois and Wisconsin law we will obtain your authorization before disclosing psychotherapy notes or HIV test results for payment purposes.

Health Care Operations. We may use your PHI to assist us in improving the quality or cost of care we provide. This may include evaluating the care provided by your physicians, nurses and other health care professionals, or comparing the effectiveness of your treatment to patients in similar situations.

What About Other Information and Websites?

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Site are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or along with other tracking technologies to collect information about You when You use Our Site.

What About Do Not Track?

Websites and web applications can track Your movements on the Internet to better tailor suggestions for You based on Your interests. We may track your movement through the Site and across third party websites to provide targeted content, and therefore We do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some people do not want their browsing behavior to be tracked. Your web browser allows You to set the DNT signal on Your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know You do not want to be tracked. We also suggest that You read the privacy policies of third party websites to see if those websites track Your browsing.

What About International Privacy Laws?

If you are visiting our websites from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information (including personal data) to the United States, where our servers are located.

Hospital Sisters Health System and its affiliates are located in, and provide services in, the United States, and are governed by United States law. For visitors from the European Union, countries outside of the EU (such as the United States) may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence. The United States has not been issued an adequacy decision finding the data privacy laws to provide an adequate level of protection, and no other basis for transfer exists. Therefore, the collection and transfer of data will occur on one of the following bases, depending on the type of transfer and the surrounding factual situation:

The transfer is necessary for performance of a contract between you and an Hospital Sisters Health System entity. This will apply when, for example, you are buying a product or signing up for information.

The transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between Hospital Sisters Health System and another person or entity, that is in your interest. This will apply when, for example, you request a product or further information from a third party through our Site.

The transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. This would apply if there developed a dispute between you and an Hospital Sisters Health System entity.

You explicitly consent to the transfer, having been informed of the possible risks of the transfer. This paragraph explains the possible risks: while We exercise great care to protect personal data, it is possible that We may be required to produce personal data to U.S. legal authorities upon presentation of a subpoena, court order, search warrant, or other legal process. We will evaluate the legal process and resist such legal demands on your behalf unless it is clearly valid based on the legal opinion of Our attorneys. The data protection laws in the United States may also provide for other uses of data, including uses for marketing that differ from the use for which the data was originally collected ("secondary uses"); however, except where otherwise compelled by law, Our collection, storage, and use of your personal data will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.

What About Marketing Use?

You agree that We can store information that You provide to us on a form and use it to assist You in making an appointment, providing other services, or for future marketing purposes.
