Keeping Protected Information Safe

The “Participant Barriers app” includes an extra layer of security, so it’s okay to enter personal health information (PHI) about the participant on this page. Personal health information can include details about medical conditions that may affect the participant, if relevant for case management. The “Participant Barriers app” is not available to TMJ/TJ workers

Remember, the “Participant Barriers app” is one of only a handful of places in WWP where it’s okay to enter personal health information. The others include the “Family Barriers” page, the “Participant Barriers” page, and contacts with the “Treatment/Assessment Provider” title. All of these pages include the extra security needed to protect sensitive information about the participant and their family.
