SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 
1974, the Indian Health Service (IHS) is proposing to modify or alter 
an SOR, ``Medical Staff Credentials and Privileges Records,'' System

We are proposing to update the Purposes to reflect the new program 
title of the National Practitioner Data Bank to include the Healthcare 
Integrity and Protection Data Bank and the inclusion of authorizing 
statute. We are proposing to update the Routine Uses to reflect the new

Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank and the inclusion of 
authorizing statute for routine use numbers 2 and 3. We will also take 
the opportunity to update any sections of the system notice to provide 
clarity on the changing environment to include for digital records and 
the initiative of transitioning from a paper-based record to a 
computerized-based or electronic medical record.

comment, the modified system of records, including routine uses, will 
become effective 40 days from the publication of the notice, or from 
the date it was submitted to OMB and the Congress, whichever is later, 
unless IHS receives comments that require alterations to this notice.

Assistant Surgeon General, Director, Indian Health Service, Department 
of Health and Human Services.

System name:
    Indian Health Service Medical Staff Credentials and Privileges 
Records, HHS/IHS/OCPS.

Security classification:
    None.

System location:
    Each Indian Health Service (IHS) Area Office and each IHS Service 
Unit (Appendix 1). Records may also be located at hospitals and offices 
of health care providers who are under contract with IHS. A current 
list of contractor sites is available by writing to the appropriate 
System Manager (Area or Service Unit Director) at the address shown in 
Appendix I.

Categories of individuals covered by the system:
    Prospective, current and former IHS medical staff members. The term 
IHS medical staff includes fully licensed individuals permitted by law 
to provide patient care services independently and without concurrent 
professional direction or supervision, within the scope of his/her 
license and in accordance with individually granted clinical 
privileges. The IHS medical staff includes physicians (M.D. and D.O.) 
and dentists and may include other health care practitioners such as 
psychologists, optometrists, podiatrists, audiologists, and, in some 
states, certified nurse midwives. Types of assignment categories of 
current and former IHS medical staff members include the following:

[[Page 16321]]

    Provisional--Those new members of the medical staff who are serving 
a required initial probationary period, as specified in the local 
medical staff bylaws. During this time, their qualifications for 
membership on the active or courtesy IHS medical staff are assessed.
    Active--Those members who are Federal employees and/or spend at 
least fifty percent of their professional time providing patient care 
related services in the facility.
    Temporary--Those members who provide services on a short-term basis 
or have applied for active medical staff membership and are awaiting a 
full credential review.
    Courtesy or Associate--Those members who generally provide services 
on a periodic or episodic basis (e.g., consultants for specialty 
clinics).

Categories of records in the system:
    Contains name, Social Security number, IHS medical staff membership 
and privileges applications and associated forms, employment data, 
liability insurance coverage, credentialing history of licensed health 
professionals, personal, educational, and demographic background 
information, professional performance information consisting of 
continuing education, performance awards, and adverse or disciplinary 
actions, and evaluations and approvals completed by IHS medical staff 
reviewers.

Authority for maintenance of the system:
    Federal Records Act (44 U.S.C. 2901), Privacy Act of 1974, as 
amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), Indian Self Determination and Education and 
Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450), Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13), Indian 
Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), Indian Health 
Service Transfer Act ((42 U.S.C. 2001-2004).

Purpose(s):
    The purposes of this system are:
    1. To ensure that IHS medical staff members are qualified, 
competent and capable of delivering quality health services consistent 
with those of the medical community at large and that they are granted 
privileges commensurate with their training and competence and with the 
ability of the facility to provide adequate support equipment, 
services, and staff.
    2. To inform health care practitioner(s) and staff of health care 
facilities, state or county health professional societies or licensing 
boards to whom the subject individual may apply for clinical 
privileges, membership or licensure, of the subject individual's 
professional competence, character and ethical qualifications. This may 
include information regarding drug or alcohol abuse or dependency. 
Within the Department such releases may be made to personnel staffs of 
DHHS Regional Offices.
    3. To provide adverse health care practice information to the 
National Practitioner Data Bank-Healthcare Integrity and Protection 
Data Bank (NPDB-HIPDB) established under Title IV of Public Law 99-660, 
the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986, as amended, and 
Section 221(a) of Public Law 104-191, the Heath Insurance Portability 
and Accountability Act of 1996. The purpose of such a release is to 
provide information concerning a current or former IHS medical staff 
member whose professional health care activity failed to conform to 
generally accepted standards of professional medical practice.
    4. To provide health care practice information concerning current 
or former members of the IHS medical staff with Commissioned Corps 
status to the Division of Commissioned Personnel, U.S. Public Health 
Service, so that an informed decision may be made concerning the 
promotion, retention, or reassignment of the subject individual.

Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories 
of users and the purposes of such uses:
    1. Records may be disclosed to organizations authorized to conduct 
evaluation studies concerning the delivery of health care services by 
the IHS (e.g., Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare 
Organizations).
    2. IHS may disclose records consisting of name, Social Security 
number, employment history and any professional qualification 
information concerning medical staff membership and privileges, 
professional competence, clinical judgment and personal character to a 
state or local government health professional licensing board, to the 
Federation of State Medical Boards, to the NPDB-HIPDB, and/or to a 
similar entity which has the authority to maintain records concerning 
the issuance, retention or revocation of licenses or registrations 
necessary to practice a health professional occupation or specialty. 
The purpose of this disclosure is to inform medical profession 
licensing boards and appropriate entities about the health care 
practices of a current, terminated, resigned, or retired IHS medical 
staff member whose professional health care activity significantly 
failed to conform to generally accepted standards of professional 
medical practice. This will be done within the guidelines for notice, 
hearing, and review as delineated in the medical staff bylaws for the 
IHS facility and/or within other HHS or IHS regulations or policies.
    3. IHS may disclose biographic data and information supplied by 
potential applicants to (a) references listed on the IHS medical staff 
and/or privileges application and associated forms for the purpose of 
evaluating the applicant's professional qualifications, experience, and 
suitability, and (b) a state or local government health profession 
licensing board, to a health-related professional organization, to the 
Federation of State Medical Boards, and to the NPDB-HIPDB or a similar 
entity for the purpose of verifying that all claimed background and 
employment data are valid and all claimed credentials are current and 
in good standing.
    4. Records may be disclosed to other Federal agencies (including 
the Office of Personnel Management for subject individuals applying for 
or maintaining Civil Service appointments), to state and local 
governmental agencies, and to organizations in the private sector to 
which the subject individual applies for clinical privileges, 
membership or licensure for the purpose of documenting the 
qualifications and competency of the subject individual to provide 
health services in his/her health profession based on the individual's 
professional performance while employed by the IHS.
    5. The Department may disclose information from this system of 
records to the Department of Justice, or to a court or other tribunal, 
when (a) HHS, or any component thereof, or (b) any HHS employee in his 
or her official capacity; or (c) any HHS employee in his or her 
individual capacity where the Department of Justice (or HHS, where it 
is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or (d) 
the United States or any agency thereof where HHS determines that the 
litigation is likely to affect HHS or any of its components, is a party 
to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and HHS determines 
that the use of such records by the Department of Justice, the court or 
other tribunal is relevant and necessary to the litigation and would 
help in the effective representation of the governmental party, 
provided, however, that in each case, HHS determines that such 
disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were 
collected.
    6. Records may be disclosed to a congressional office from the 
record of

[[Page 16322]]

an individual in response to a verified inquiry from the congressional 
office made at the written request of that individual.
    7. In the event that a system of records maintained by the IHS to 
carry out its functions indicates a violation or potential violation of 
law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature, and whether 
arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by 
regulation, rule or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records 
in the system of records may be referred to the appropriate agency, 
whether Federal, state, or local, charged with enforcing or 
implementing the statute or rule, regulation or order issued pursuant 
thereto.

Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    File folders and computer-based or electronic files.

Retrievability:
    Indexed and retrieved by name, Social Security number, and any 
other identifying numbers necessary to establish the identity of an 
individual whose record is maintained in the system of records.

Safeguards:
    1. Authorized Users: Access is limited to authorized personnel for 
use in the performance of their official duties. Authorized personnel 
include: Physician Recruitment and other Health Professions Branch 
Staff and Area Governing Board Members at IHS Area Offices, and Service 
Unit Directors, Clinical Directors and members of the Credentials and 
Privilege Committee of each IHS Service Unit. At each location where 
records in this system will be maintained, a list of personnel or 
categories of personnel having an official need-to-know has been 
developed and is maintained.
    2. Physical Safeguards: Records are kept in locked metal filing 
cabinets or in locked desk drawers in secured rooms at all times when 
not actually in use during working hours and at all times during non-
working hours. Record storage areas, including file cabinets and desks, 
are not left unattended or unlocked during office hours, including 
lunch hours. Computer-based or electronic records are password 
protected security and any additional internal security for database 
(linked or unlinked).
    3. Procedural Safeguards: Persons who have an official need-to-know 
are entrusted with records from this system of records and are 
instructed to safeguard the confidentiality of these records and to 
destroy all copies or to return such records when the need to know has 
expired. Instructions include the statutory penalties for 
noncompliance. Proper charge-out procedures are followed for the 
removal of records from the area in which they are maintained. Before 
an employee who will control disclosure of records can work with the 
records (i.e., employees who report to the system manager) the system 
manager or designee ensures that the employee has received training in 
the safeguards applicable to the records and is aware of the actions to 
take to restrict disclosure. When copying records for authorized 
purposes, care is taken to ensure that any imperfect pages are not left 
in the reproduction room where they can be read but are destroyed or 
obliterated.
    4. Implementation Guidelines: DHHS Chapter 45-13 and supplementary 
Chapter PHS.hf:45-13 of the General Administration Manual; DHHS, 
``Automated Information System Security Program Handbook,'' as amended; 
DHHS IRM Policy HHS-IRM-2000-0005, ``IRM Policy for IT Security for 
Remove Access; OMB Circular A-130 ``Management of Federal Information 
Resources''; and E-Government Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-347, 44 U.S.C. 
Ch. 36).

Retention and disposal:
    Records are maintained by IHS for at least ten years after the 
individual's termination of employment or association with IHS. Records 
of unsuccessful applicants for medical staff membership will be 
retained for three years after his/her rejection. After these periods 
of retention expire, records are destroyed by shredding or burning.

System manager(s) and address:
    See Appendix 1.

Policy Coordinating Official:
    Director, Office of Clinical and Preventive Services, IHS, 801 
Thompson Avenue, Suite 300, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The IHS Clinical 
Directors at all IHS Service Units listed in Appendix 1 are System 
Managers. IHS medical staff credentials and privileges files are stored 
at these locations. Other addresses listed in Appendix 1 are locations 
at which all or parts of these records may also be stored (Physician 
Recruiter at IHS Area Offices). Post Office Box designations appearing 
in Appendix 1 should be specified when making requests by mail.

Notification procedure:
    Requests must be made to the appropriate System Manager (Clinical 
Director for the appropriate Service Unit) listed in Appendix 1.

Requests by mail:
    Requests for information and/or access to records received by mail 
must contain information providing the identity of the writer and a 
reasonable description of the record desired. Written requests must 
contain, at a minimum, the name, signature, Social Security number, and 
address of the requester, and for unsuccessful applicants the date when 
the application was submitted, and for current or former IHS health 
care providers the dates and locations of service. We may request 
additional identification when we hold records for different persons 
with the same name or where an apparent discrepancy exists between 
information contained in the record and that provided by the individual 
requesting access to the record.

Other names used:
    Where an individual is seeking to obtain information about himself/
herself which may be retrieved by a different name than his/her current 
name, he/she shall be required to produce evidence to verify that he/
she is the person whose record he/she seeks.

Requests in person:
    A subject individual who appears in person at a specific location 
(where he or she currently works or formerly worked) seeking access or 
disclosure of records contained in this system of records relating to 
him/her shall provide the information described in ``Requests by mail'' 
(above) and at least one piece of tangible identification such as a 
driver's license or passport.

Requests by telephone:
    Since positive identification of the caller cannot be established, 
telephone requests are not honored.

Record access procedures:
Same as Notification procedure:
    Requesters should also provide a reasonable description of the 
record being sought. Requesters may also request an accounting of 
disclosures that have been made of their records, if any.

Contesting record procedures:
    Write to the appropriate Service Unit Clinical Director at the 
address specified

[[Page 16323]]

in Appendix 1 and reasonably identify the record, specify the 
information being contested, and state the corrective action sought, 
and the reasons for requesting the correction, along with supporting 
information to show how the record is inaccurate, incomplete, untimely, 
or irrelevant.

Record source categories:
    Subject individual, IHS health care personnel, references supplied 
by the subject individual, professional societies or associations, 
specialty boards, colleges and universities attended by the subject 
individual, former employers, health facilities or health providers 
with which the subject individual was associated, liability insurance 
carriers, organizations providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) 
training to the subject individual, state and local health and health 
care licensing or certifying organizations, and organizations which 
serve as repositories of information on health care professionals.

Systems exempted from certain provisions of the act:
    None.
