The University of Connecticut’s primary functions are education and research, not healthcare. However, because the University does have some offices, departments and units that engage in HIPAA-covered work and function as HIPAA-Covered Components, the University of Connecticut is designated as a Hybrid Entity. This means that some of our units as a whole, and select work conducted by some our faculty, staff and student are covered by HIPAA.
