Medical Records

A patient has the right to their records although there is a fee (at least in Canada) but it's minimal. Since your doctor died, then either there is another physician that took his place and they would have your records or, the doctor's office would usually tell you of another doctor to see and when you do they will automatically pass your records to them. If there is another doctor that took the place of your doctor and you don't care to be treated by him/her you can request your medical records be released. They will make you sign a document of release.

With regard to hospital institutions, at this point in time, there is not a central data

base for medical records; however, by 2014 institutions (hospitals and private physician

practices) are being strongly encouraged to attain an electronic health (medical) record. By

acquiring an electronic health record, this will aide in the facilitation of acquiring a central

data base in the not too distant future.

If they were subpoeana'd by a court of law for use as evidence, yes, it is legal.

Yes and no -- I'll explain.

If you feel there's something inaccurate in your medical record, you need to petition the Covered Entity (CE) (the doctor usually), and ask them to amend the record. This can be done with a written letter. They have 30 days or so to explain why they won't do so. If they disagree, you can petition to DHHS (Dept. Health and Human Services) OCR (Office of Civil Rights), who has the power to make this determination.

If they agree, or if they don't respond in the time window, your requested changes must be implemented.

You can also ask for your own comments to be added to the medical record. This action is not directly covered in HIPAA, but is instead a function of medical recording, i.e. this likely constitutes a patient history.

HIPAA laws are applied under both federal and state guidelines. Generally the only persons who will be granted access to a deceased person's medical history are, govenment agencies (medical examiner, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, etc.) health care providers/insurers who were involved before the person's death, executor or personal representative of the deceased's estate, a surviving spouse if the couple were legally married at the time of death and adult children. A few states require an order from the court regardless of who is requesting the information. The best option is to contact the doctor or facililty who is in charge of the records as they are actually the "legal owner" and would be able to supply information on how to obtain a copy of whatever is needed.

The compliance acronyms roll right off our lips these days: HIPAA, SOX, PCI. All these and many others are top-of-mind to executives and practitioners throughout the industry. Check out TheComplianceAuthority resources site for more info .

Yes, but chances are very rare, only surgical birth might kill a woman but the possibilities are 1/1000000. So, don't worry, oh, and also unless you have a hernia.

Completion of a 2-year associate degree or 1-year certificate program-including coursework in anatomy, medical terminology, legal issues relating to health care documentation, and English grammar and punctuation-is highly recommended, but not always required. Many of these programs include supervised on-the-job experience. Some transcriptionists, especially those already familiar with medical terminology from previous experience as a nurse or medical secretary, become proficient through refresher courses and training.Completion of a 2-year associate degree or 1-year certificate program-including coursework in anatomy, medical terminology, legal issues relating to health care documentation, and English grammar and punctuation-is highly recommended, but not always required.

They can make a motion to that effect to the judge and request the 'new' information, but usually when the discovery period is over, it is over. Anything learned, discovered, or uncovered after that, becomes a new motion.

It protects your medical records from being released to anyone except for who you give permission to.

North Carolina General Statute Section 90-411 permits the following charges: Search, Handling, Copying and Mailing Costs Up to $10.00 Certification Fee Up to per record $9.32 Copying Costs for Records in Paper Form Per page for pages 1-25 $0.75 Per page for pages 26 - 100 $0.50 Per page for pages over 100 $0.25 The HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibits the charge for Search, Retrieval and Other Direct Administrative Costs from being assessed against the patient or the patient's personal representative who requests medical records. The HIPAA prohibition does not apply to requests by other persons.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule prohibits providers from charging to convert medical records into a form or format requested by the individual, if it is readily producible in such form or format, or into a readable hard copy form or other agreed upon form or format. However, if the individual wants a copy of a non-paper medical record, then a hospital may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for copying the record, including the cost of supplies and copying labor.

Where someone other than a patient or their personal representative requests records, physicians may charge a reasonable fee (currently $10.00) to search for, handle and copy requested records. However, actual mailing costs may always be charged, regardless of who the requester is. The fee constitutes a minimum charge. It does not apply when the actual copying charge exceeds the minimum.

A physician may charge to prepare a health record summary.

A physician or hospital may not assess a copying charge where the requester is applying for Social Security Disability or Income benefits.

In order to be lawful your deceaseds brother's estate would have had to have been handled by the Probate Court of the jurisdiction in which he lived/died. If he had a will, the will should be on file at the courthouse. If he did not have a will, the state would have declared him "intestate" and the state would have taken over the allocation of his property and assets. Whichever action occured there should a case file containing the results on file at the courthouse. It is a public record and you can see it to learn how the estate was probated and apportioned. If you have any question in your mind that the estate was not handled correctly, according to law, by your other brother, you will have to file a motion with the Probate Court to overturn the will or the intestacy findings.

Regarding the cause and circumstances of the death: In most (all?) states a Death Certificate would have had to be prepared and submitted by a physician. In the case of an un-attended death, an autopsy would have had to have been done by a Coroner or a Medical Examiner so that the cause of death could be determined. You should be able to find out what the Death Certificate says, or what the results of the autopsy were, by contacting their office. Again, these documents are a public record and you will be able to see that information.

When the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) were being adopted by the industry about 4-5 years back, most of the experts and analysts thought that they would eliminate Medical Transcriptions and would make physicians more of a computer-operated robot who just focuses on his monitor rather than the patient. However, over the years, physicians have realized that the need to document the encounter on medical transcriptions is of paramount importance. Quite a few physicians rely on documenting encounters on medical transcriptions with their staff members documenting the same in the EMR later on. Data can be entered in an EMR via two methods: direct entry by the physicians through point and click templates or using SOAP notes. This really makes creating a medical transcription a breeze as compared to duplication of work in the paper-based process and the hassle of writing everything by hand. Most present-day EHRs can also receive dictation by voice to create medical transcriptions.

EMR is an abbreviation for Electronic Medical Records. An EMR is a Healthcare IT product that is meant to facilitate the physician in documenting clinical workflows with precision.

If your daughter is a minor, you should be able to, but there are some instances where they may refuse to share them with a parent. If your daughter is an adult, over 18, no, you will not be able to get her records. ANSWER If your daughter is legally of age, you will not be able to obtain her records. If she is a minor, or someone that may have a mental health issue or something like that, will be considered at a situation of being able to get their records. If your daughter is a minor, then you are going to need all of the pertinent information as well, as your daughter's carecard information.

In Australia, the retention period for medical records varies by state and territory but generally ranges from 5 to 30 years after the last patient contact. For adults, records are typically kept for at least 7 years after the last treatment, while records for minors are often retained until the individual turns 25. It's important for healthcare providers to adhere to specific regulations and guidelines relevant to their jurisdiction.
