It was reported yesterday that Parkview Health Systems Inc. owed a settlement of $800,000 for a HIPAA violation.

Parkview Health Systems Director of Communications Eric Clabaugh contacted Ink Free News this morning to clarify that the requirements of the settlement have been met beyond what was required.

According to Clabaugh, the settlement was reached more than a year ago and that Parkview Health Systems takes its patients’ information very seriously.

Clabaugh also noted that the incident took place June 4, 2009 and that corrective action has been taken to ensure such instances do not reoccur.
