TB/HIV/STD Database Access Requests
Requesting New Access to a DSHS Database
The following steps apply for all new DSHS TB, HIV, or STD application and database account requests. Requests for new access to a database must come from an DSHS-approved Local Responsible Party (LRP) and/or LRP Designee for your agency. If you do not know who this individual is, check with your supervisor. DSHS will not accept requests for new access to a DSHS database without approval from an LRP or LRP designee.
Renewing Database Access (Annual)
DSHS requires people with access to confidential TB, HIV, STD, and/or viral hepatitis information to complete a security training and sign a Confidentiality Agreement and an Acceptable Use Agreement at time of employment and on an annual basis. This includes DSHS employees (permanent, temporary, and contractors), IT staff, volunteers, and students.
New User and Renewal Instructions:
Complete the Security and Confidentiality Training course. If you took the online security and confidentiality course:
- Complete the training and pass with at least 85 percent.
- Save your completed course certificate as Lastname_Firstname_Agency_Strn.pdf.
- Upload your TB/HIV/STD Data Security and Confidentiality Certificate to Smartsheet and submit your request.
Deactivating User Access from DSHS Databases
A supervisor or LRP is responsible for notifying the DSHS HIV/STD Section Privacy Coordinator when an employee ends employment with the agency or changes to a new department or role that will no longer require the individual to access database(s). The supervisor/LRP will use this form for that deactivation request.
*Please only submit access requests for yourself. DSHS will decline third-party requests.***
**TB Only: Please upload your TB Personnel Notice Form**
