The University of Kansas Privacy Program oversees privacy compliance at both the University of Kansas (KU) and the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC), ensuring comprehensive regulatory compliance across both institutions. 

At KUMC, the program focuses on HIPAA & healthcare compliance, with particular attention to data privacy in clinical research and community health initiatives. The Privacy Program serves as a strategic partner with departments at the The University of Kansas Health System. This partnership fosters shared data governance objectives, enhances privacy initiatives, and promotes a unified approach to patient data protection.

To effectively support the KUMC community, the Privacy Program collaborates with several campus-specific departments. For detailed information on these departments and available resources, please explore the links provided below.
