As an employee of UPMC, you have access to clinical systems to perform your job. You know your neighbor is in the hospital, but you don’t know why. You are concerned about your neighbor and decide to look up her records to see what the problem is. You are not involved in your neighbor’s care.
Was this access permissible?

About patient privacy…
• UPMC SHY’s Personal Information Number (PIN)o PIN is the first 2 and last 2 numbers of the patient’s medical record
number (although patient can request a number of his or her own choosing)
o Example: MR # is 463 527 793 8497 - What is this patient’s PIN number?
o Assigned to every admitted patiento Improves communication between staff and patient’s family and
friends
• Initiated based on patient’s entry point into the hospital o Admission Team, ICU nurses, nurses in the DAS/ASC
and SSU• PIN documented in electronic health record and on a canary yellow form
kept in the patient’s “paper” chart• When family or friends call or presents on
the unit asking for information on the patient – we must request the PIN number prior to sharing information

Progression of Assignments
A simple way to remember this…• At the beginning Preceptor will
help a great deal• Then the preceptor helps, but
pulls away somewhat to allow for growth
• And finally the preceptor will allow independence
• Preceptor knows…”You can let them tread water but …NEVER LET THEM SINK.”
• Preceptor is your guideo May choose to have you shadow first day or do part of a one-patient
assignment- Based on your experience
o Will be a role model and introduce you to other staff and clinicianso Listens to your report and reviews your documentation
• Advanced Clinical Education Specialist meets periodically with you and your Preceptor
o Support o Unit Director along with Preceptor and Clinical Educator monitors
your orientation
Your Supporters

Used for Unit-Based Orientation• Keep the green book available when caring for patients so
Preceptor can fill in observations• Only sign evaluation page after the Preceptor reviews what
he/she has written• DO NOT take your green book home or put it in your locker!
o Nurse Manager or APN will want to review
• Ensure that the SHY and Unit-Based Orientation Competencies are being completed and signed by your Preceptor

Some other thoughts for support…
• Build in 15 minutes of reflective time as often as possible at the end of the shift
o Ask your Preceptors any questions to clarify what occurred during the shift
• Once your are off of Orientation, your UD will try to have you follow your preceptor’s schedule to continue those mentoring benefits
