The HIPAA security rule requires a number of safeguards to restrict the physical facilities within which PHI is stored. Within our clinics, patient care areas such as special testing rooms and consult rooms have keycard restricted access to limit entry to authorized users. Each time you swipe into a keycard controlled room, there is an audit trail that documents your entry through recognition of your personal BuckID. Therefore, if your BuckID is lost or stolen, it is important that your report it immediately in the college HelpDesk (https://helpdesk.optometry.osu.edu/helpdesk/WebObjects/Helpdesk.woa ) to prevent an illegal entry if someone else tries to use your card. Further, students with a lost or stolen BuckID could have illegal fees and charges applied to your account.
