We are revising our UIHS Notice of Privacy Practices for the Launch of new Electronic Health Record System

United Indian Health Services, Inc. (UIHS) is excited to announce the upcoming launch of our new Electronic Health Record (EHR) system called OCHIN/Epic. As part of implementation, we have made important revisions to our Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP), which outlines how UIHS will manage and protect your health information.

Why Are We Updating the Notice?

As we implement OCHIN/Epic, we are updating our Notice of Privacy Practices, to clarify how your health information will be used and shared within the new system, including new methods of electronic data sharing between healthcare providers and facilities, as well as the added security measures in place to protect your sensitive information.

Where and When Will You See These Changes?

You will be able to review and get a copy of the revised Notice of Privacy Practices on our website and from any of our front office staff at all UIHS clinic locations beginning October 15, 2025. We encourage you to take the time to read the new notice. 

We Are Here for You

The transition to OCHIN/Epic is a positive step forward, and we are committed to keeping you informed every step of the way. We understand that managing your healthcare data can feel overwhelming at times, but rest assured, we are implementing the most robust security measures to ensure that your information remains private and protected.

Thank you for trusting us with your care. We are confident that OCHIN/Epic will help us provide you with the best possible service, and we look forward to your continued partnership in your health journey.
