In each issue, the Medical Center Compliance Program provides a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section. This is one method to reach out to UMMC employees and raise awareness of compliance issues. Please let us know what you think, or provide topic suggestions by e-mailing compliance@umm.edu or tjackson4@umm.edu. Compliance FAQ Q: I had surgery at the Medical Center last week, and I am concerned that my coworkers may have accessed my medical record information. They knew specific health information that had not been disclosed to anyone. Can I request an access audit? A: Yes. You can request a medical record access audit if you believe that your protected health information may have been accessed inappropriately. A request can be made by e-mailing Corporate Compliance at compliance@umm.edu or calling 410-328-DUTY.

Displaying Credentials
The UMMC Standard for displaying of credentials is based on the ANCC Guidelines. The preferred order is: • highest earned degree (can list more than one if in different fields) • licensure • state designations or requirements • national certifications and honors • other recognitions Nurses with two or more nursing degrees (MSN, BSN) should only list their highest nursing degree, along with other degrees obtained. Example: Betty Smith, MSN, MBA, RN. Why this order: The education degree comes first because it is a “permanent” credential, meaning it cannot be taken away except under extreme circumstances. The next two credentials (licensure and state designations/requirements) are required for you to practice. National certification is sometimes voluntary. Awards, honors, and other recognitions are always voluntary. If you would like additional information, please visit http://www.nursecredentialing.com and search using the word “credentials”.
