APPLICANT or EMPLOYEE NAME (Please print)
History (CCH) check will be performed by accessing the Texas Department of Public Safety Secure
Website
and will be based on name and DOB identifiers I supply. (This is not a consent form.) Authority for this
agency
to access an
individual’s
criminal history data may be found in Texas Government Code 411; Subchapter F.
Name-based information is not an exact search and only fingerprint record searches represent true
identification to criminal history, therefore the organization conducting the criminal history check is not
allowed to discuss with me any criminal history record information obtained using this method. The
agency
may request that I have a fingerprint search performed to clear any misidentification based on the result of
the
name and DOB search. Once this process is completed the information on my fingerprint criminal
history
record may be discussed with
me.
In order to complete the process I must make an appointment with the Fingerprint Applicant Services
of
Texas (FAST) as instructed online at www.txdps.state.tx.us / Crime Records / Review of Personal Criminal
History or by calling the DPS Program Vendor at 1-888-467-2080, submit a full and complete set of
fingerprints,
request a copy be sent to the agency listed below, and pay a fee of $25.00 to the fingerprinting

Brown County MRC Privacy and Liability Policy Page 1 of 1
BROWN COUNTY MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS HIPAA & LIABILITY POLICY
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Protects Patient Privacy
As a volunteer performing duties for the Brownwood/Brown County Health Department -
Public Health Preparedness, you will have access to the Protected Health Information
(PHI) of our clients. The fact that an individual is or was a client of the BBCHD is PHI.
Federal and state laws, including HIPAA and our policies and procedures, protect the
privacy and security of this PHI.
It is illegal for you to use or disclose PHI outside the scope of your volunteer duties for the
BBCHD. This includes oral, written, or electronic uses and disclosures.
The following are guidelines for using public health information:
You may use PHI as necessary to carry out your duties as a volunteer
You may share PHI with other health care providers for treatment purposes
You may NOT photocopy PHI
You must access only the minimum amount of PHI necessary to care for a
patient or to carry out an assignment
You may NOT record PHI (such as patient names, diagnoses, dates of birth,
addresses, phone numbers, etc.) on any assignments you may need to turn
into your instructor, reports you may need to turn in to your program, or
forms you may need to take with you
You may only access the PHI of patients for whom you are caring/volunteering
when there is a need for the PHI
Be aware of your surroundings when discussing PHI. For example,
because others may overhear you, it is inappropriate to discuss PHI in
bathrooms, lunch areas or in any other public place
When disposing of any documents with PHI, do NOT put them into a waste can.
Instead, place discarded documents with PHI into containers marked for
shredding/shred in designated location
If you have questions about the use or disclosure of PHI, contact the Medical
Reserve Corps Coordinator
