Health Information Privacy and Security Week is April 9 to 15, and BWH is marking this event by reinforcing by the hospital’s commitment to ensuring privacy and confidentiality for all patient information. Health Information Services is staffing information tables outside the BWH Cafeteria from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
