Busy medical practices understand that each day personal health information is transmitted in various forms between hospitals, doctors, attorneys, insurance companies, patients and their lawyers and families. With increasing reliance on electronic medical records health information can be transmitted with minimal effort. However, health information requests become more confusing and less streamlined when dealing with a deceased or incapacitated patient. Under what authority do you have to release patient information pertaining to a deceased individual? Do family members have the right to authorize the release of records to third-parties? This live audio conference will educate you on how to identify a valid power of attorney to determine whether information should be disclosed. Additional discussions will be held on other issues surrounding access to patient health information such as health care proxies and subpoenas. You need to understand the nuances of patient information requests and the authority you can rely on when turning over patient health information.
