For Example:
A patient who is being seen for a routine followup exam approaches Josh, a Clinical Business Associate at the front desk and asks for copies of his medical record. Josh accesses the patients medical records using WEBCIS, prints all of the patients records and hands them to the patient.
Is this the appropriate way for a patient to receive a copy of his medical record?

Next
For Example:
No. Josh should have advised the patient that copies of medical records are obtained by contacting Medical Information Management. If possible, Josh should provide the patient with the Authorization Form (HD 555) to complete and submit to the Medical Information Management Department for responding to their request.

For Example:
A patient in the Ob-Gyn clinic asks the clinic manager for an alternative communication method regarding her lab results. Rather than sending her results to the address on file, she would prefer her results be sent to a post office box. The clinic manager knows that the patient is married and doesnt see any reason for her to make such a request and asks her to explain her reason. Does the clinic manager have a right to ask her for a reason?

For Example:
No. The clinic manager should fill out the Request for Alternative Means or Location for Confidential Communication form and forward it to his/her Privacy Officer. The Privacy Officer will review the request and work with the applicable department to determine whether the request can be accommodated.
