A valid reason for restricting access to a patient's medical record is to protect the patient's privacy and confidentiality, particularly if the information pertains to sensitive issues such as mental health, substance abuse, or HIV status. Additionally, access may be limited to prevent harm, such as when disclosing certain information could lead to retaliation or discrimination against the patient. Legal requirements and regulations, such as HIPAA in the United States, also dictate circumstances under which access can be restricted.
