Supplemental Terms of Service (STOS)
Effective Date: July 26, 2021
Welcome to MyVirginiaMason, alternatively referred to as the "Patient Portal," "we," "us" or "our." We offer to you the services available on this patient portal in exchange for your agreement with all of the following terms and conditions, referred to as these “Supplemental Terms of Service," “Terms,” or this "STOS." This STOS is a supplement to - in addition to - the General Terms of Service and other legal and privacy notices posted on this Patient Portal. Be sure to read them as well.
CAUTION: You should only communicate non-urgent matters through MyVirginiaMason. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
THIS STOS IS PART OF A BINDING CONTRACT WITH YOU. IT CONTAINS LEGAL TERMS. IT ALSO OBTAINS YOUR CONSENT FOR US TO USE MYVIRGINIAMASON TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE MYVIRGINIAMASON AND PROMPTLY EXIT THIS WEBSITE.
READ CAREFULLY. THIS STOS CONTAINS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE PATIENT PORTAL. THIS STOS GOVERNS YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF MYVIRGINIAMASON. BY SUBSCRIBING TO, ACCESSING OR USING MYVIRGINIAMASON, YOU ARE NOW ACCEPTING ALL OF THESE TERMS AND SERVICE.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF MYVIRGINIAMASONAT ALL TIMES SATISFIES YOUR REQUEST FOR ELECTRONIC HEALTH INFORMATION (EHI) IN THE MANNER YOU HAVE REQUESTED IT IN CONNECTION WITH MYVIRGINIAMASON. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN YOU MUST NOT CREATE A PATIENT PORTAL ACCOUNT AND MUST NOT USE (OR MUST STOP USING) THE PATIENT PORTAL IMMEDIATELY.
If you do not agree with all of these Terms, we will consider your request for EHI through MyVirginiaMason withdrawn by you. If you do not wish to withdraw your EHI request, please contact the Health Information Management (HIM) department at the facility where you receive care and tell us what EHI you are requesting. We will work with you to fulfill your EHI request in another manner permitted by the state and federal laws that apply to Virginia Mason Franciscan Health (“Virginia Mason”).
- Electronic Health Information (EHI) Available in MyVirginiaMason
Virginia Mason has contracted with the Cerner Corporation to offer patients and their personal representatives access to certain EHI maintained by Virginia Mason as part of a patient’s health record.
You understand and acknowledge that what is available to you through your MyVirginiaMason account is not a complete record of all your health information kept by Virginia Mason in your health record. Also, it is not a complete record of all your health information that is maintained by other health care providers, health plans or others.
You acknowledge and agree that by accessing MyVirginiaMason, we are providing to you the following types of EHI with a date of service beginning on or after April 5, 2021 or whenever you first open a portal account, whichever is later. If you already have a Patient Portal account, you will already have access to some of these types of information, but beginning on or after April 5, 2021, these are the types of information that will be available. If you open a portal account after April 5, 2021, these are the types of information that will be available to you at that time.
•Identifying and demographic information (like name, date of birth, ethnicity, phone number, email address, etc.)
•Allergies
•Medications
•Immunizations
•Procedures
•Care team members (for each hospitalization or office visit)
•Assessment and plan of treatment
•Goals
•Clinical notes (by doctors, nurses, and others)
•Health concerns
•Laboratory test results
•Vital signs
•Problems (information about a diagnosis, condition, or health issue)
•Smoking status
•Unique identifier for implanted devices
We must comply with many state and federal health information laws. Also our systems have limited technical and administrative ability to segment (separate) data. Because of these facts, we may delay immediate access to some EHI or may withhold some EHI to prevent harm to a person. Specifically, it is may not be feasible for us to:
•Provide radiology (imaging and x-ray) reports earlier than four days after the reports are available;
•Provide pathology reports earlier than four days after the reports are available;
You acknowledge and agree that MyVirginiaMason may not contain any of the following information:
•Health information that is outside of the health record maintained by Virginia Mason;
•Non-final health information, such as draft clinical notes or incomplete test results before confirmation if Virginia Mason is not using such data to make health care decisions about individuals;
•Psychotherapy notes (as defined by HIPAA);
•Information compiled in reasonable anticipation of, or for use in, a civil, criminal, or administrative action or proceeding;
•Health Information that an individual has requested, and Virginia Mason has agreed, to not share through MyVirginiaMason;
•Health information created or obtained during research that includes treatment;
•Health information protected by the federal Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 522a);
•Information provided by a non-health care provider, such as a family member or friend, under a promise of confidentiality if the information would reveal the confidential source; and
•Health information for which a licensed health care professional—who has a current or prior clinical-patient relationship with the patient whose health information is at issue—has determined on an individualized basis in the exercise of professional judgment that denying or delaying the access, exchange or use of EHI will substantially reduce a risk of a harm to the patient or other natural person. Depending on the circ*mstances, it may not be feasible for Virginia Mason to segment (separate out) this health information from other EHI in MyVirginiaMason. In such instances, Virginia Mason may suspend, disable or terminate your MyVirginiaMason account.
To ask for health information that is not in MyVirginiaMason, and/or to ask for health information (including EHI) in a manner other than through the portal, please contact the Health Information Management (HIM) department of the facility where you received care. The HIM department will offer you several ways that you can ask for your health information.
For all other health information requests, such as asking for a one-time disclosure of health information to a third party, please also contact the HIM department of the facility where you received care for assistance.
We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with the requested health information in the manner you request it. If we cannot provide it to you in the manner you request it, we may provide it to you using certified technology standards, content and transport standards developed by the federal government or accredited by the American National Standards Institute, or using an alternative machine-readable format. Depending on the circ*mstances, the only feasible way for us to provide you with health information requested may be to send it to you in a portable document format (PDF) or word format (such as .doc and .docx).
2.Patient Portal Accounts
Virginia Mason offers portal accounts to adult patients, to the personal representatives (parents or guardians) of children through age 12, and to any “proxy” chosen by an adult patient or a personal representative. State laws govern when adolescents or their parents have access to and can control adolescents’ health information. The law provides that adolescents can control health information for some types of treatment (such as pregnancy, sexually-transmitted diseases, etc.) and parents/guardians can control health information for other types of treatment for their adolescent children. Our computer systems do not have the technology to segment (separate out) the information that adolescents can control from the information that parents/guardians can control. As a result, we do not offer MyVirginiaMason accounts to adolescents. In addition, parents/guardians of children over 12 cannot have proxy access to their children’s information. Minors who provide evidence of legal emancipation can have a MyVirginiaMason account, however.
Virginia Mason offers accounts to those whose identity has been checked and have shown that they have the right under law to have an account. Your enrollment in MyVirginiaMason depends on checking your identity by one of our representatives in person and with photo identification. Then, we will usually send an email invitation for you to enroll in the Portal. When you first enroll in MyVirginiaMason, you will be asked to answer a security question. This security question is for a one-time use. It will permit you to create a user identification (referred to as a "User ID") and password, which you must have to access and use MyVirginiaMason. Once you have created your User ID and password, you have "enrolled" in the portal. If you fail to claim your enrollment invitation within ninety (90) days of receipt, it will expire and you will need to request a new enrollment invitation from us in person to enroll in MyVirginiaMason.
3.Portal and Online Security
(a) Inquiries and entries that you make within MyVirginiaMason will be logged in association with your User ID. It is extremely important that you keep your MyVirginiaMason User ID and password completely confidential, as anyone with access to your User ID and password will be able to assume your online identity, view your confidential medical information.
(b) It is your responsibility to prevent disclosure of your User ID and password. If you believe the security of your User ID and password have been compromised, lost, stolen, viewed, or misused, you must notify us immediately and change your User ID and password. In addition, in order to maintain the security of MyVirginiaMason, you may be required to change your password periodically, without prior notice, upon login and before you are allowed access to your account. If you have any questions regarding the security of your User ID and password, please telephone our HELPLINE at (800)276-8807.
(c) If it is discovered that you have inappropriately shared your password with another person or otherwise misused or abused your privileges to access or use MyVirginiaMason, we reserve the right to immediately discontinue your access to MyVirginiaMason without prior notice.
(d) We take no responsibility for and disclaim any and all liability arising from a breach of health record confidentiality resulting from your sharing or losing your User ID and password or otherwise failing to keep it confidential.
(e) You may terminate your account or the account of designated proxies by contacting our HELPLINE 24 hours a day, seven days a week at (800)276-8807.

These notification e-mails will not contain any personal health information. When choosing an e-mail address to provide to us for these purposes, you should choose an e-mail account that you regularly check and that is solely used by you. Also, you should configure that e-mail account so that e-mails from noreply@iqhealth.com do not automatically go into bulk, trash or spam folders.
(b) MyVirginiaMason is not intended to replace in-person meetings and/or personal conversations with your health care provider. If MyVirginiaMason is unavailable, you should use other means (like the telephone) to contact your health care provider for non-urgent matters.
7. Addendum Or Amendment To Your Medical Record

Cerner Patient Portal Terms of Use
Effective Date: July 20, 2011
Revised Date: February 12, 2013
Overview
Cerner Patient Portal is operated by Cerner Corporation (Cerner) and provided to you by your healthcare provider (Provider). Cerner Patient Portal provides a view into your Electronic Medical Record (EMR) which is maintained by your Provider and gives you a secure way to communicate with your Provider. Cerner Patient Portal is governed by these Terms of Use (Terms). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not establish a Cerner Patient Portal connection. By using or accessing Cerner Patient Portal you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Accessing Cerner Patient Portal
You must be at least 13 years old to establish an Cerner Patient Portal connection. You may not permit any other person to access Cerner Patient Portal using your user name and password. The security of your password and the use of your account is your responsibility. If you learn or suspect that your user name or password has been wrongfully used or disclosed, you should promptly notify Cerner and immediately reset your password.
Your Information
The information available for you to view through Cerner Patient Portal is not a comprehensive view of all the data in your Provider's EMR. Your interactions with Cerner Patient Portal (such as secure messaging, scheduling and completing questionnaires) are interactions with your Provider. You agree not to post or transmit any information through Cerner Patient Portal that infringes the rights of others or violates their privacy or publicity rights, in particular (without limitation) you must not post or transmit material which is of a bullying, harassing or discriminatory nature.
Maintaining Another Person's Connection
If you are legally authorized to view another person's health information, their Provider may give you access to Cerner Patient Portal for that person, subject to these Terms. Various federal and state regulations prohibit sharing certain categories of sensitive information with anyone other than the patient. Many such regulations prohibit sharing sensitive information about minors over the age of 13 with their parents or legal guardians. As such, the Provider may restrict your access to the other person's sensitive information and not make it available to you through Cerner Patient Portal.
Proxy Use of Cerner Patient Portal
You may also authorize a proxy(ies) to view and interact with Cerner Patient Portal based on the specific privileges you've assigned. You may authorize any person who qualifies for a Cerner Patient Portal connection, including a minor, to be a proxy. If you have agreed to allow a minor to be a proxy, you agree that you shall be solely responsible for: (a) acceptance of these Terms on the minor's behalf, (b) the minor's compliance with these Terms, (c) the on-line conduct of such minor; (d) monitoring such minor's access to and use of Cerner Patient Portal; and (e) the consequences of such minor's use. Access or privileges you give to someone can be modified or removed by you at any time, for any reason.
When you share information from Cerner Patient Portal with another individual, you acknowledge and accept responsibility for the decision to provide them access to potentially sensitive information.
Disclosure of Information
Cerner may, in Cerner's sole and reasonable discretion, disclose any information necessary to satisfy applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
Privacy
You agree to the terms and conditions of the Cerner Patient Portal Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and made part of these Terms.
Third Party Programs, Activities and Services
Cerner does not endorse any programs, activities, or services offered by organizations other than Cerner (such as your Provider and national health-awareness organizations). Cerner makes no warranty of any kind as to the accuracy, completeness or appropriateness of any such programs, activities and services.

In order to provide you with greater value, Cerner may provide you with links to various third party Web sites.

Cerner assumes no responsibility or liability for these independent methods or actions and is not responsible for the independent policies or procedures of destination sites. Similarly, Cerner cannot take responsibility for the privacy initiatives or the content of such Web sites. These destination links are provided only for your convenience, and as such, you access them at your own risk.
