Breach or Event Notification to HHS Sample Clauses

The 'Breach or Event Notification to HHS' clause requires parties to promptly inform the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) if a data breach or certain security incidents involving protected health information occur. Typically, this clause outlines the timeframe for notification, the type of information that must be reported, and the process for making such notifications, often in compliance with HIPAA regulations. Its core function is to ensure regulatory compliance and transparency, helping organizations avoid penalties and maintain trust by addressing breaches in a timely and responsible manner.
