Unit 8 Project Questions: Part I
1. Under HIPAA, are you legally allowed to view this patient’s medical information? Why or why not?
Under HIPAA, you are not legally allowed to view a patient’s medical information unless you are their doctor because it is in violation of a patients personal information and that is against the law so because you are the doctor you can help retrieve that patient and give him the medical care he needs because without these medications they will not recover one hundred percent and that is crucial for a patient.
2. In this case, how would you be able to correct your error and provide the missing documents to the patient while still protecting patient confidentiality under HIPAA?
A way to correct an error is to talk to this patient sense you are their doctor and try to contact them as soon as possible by phone in a secluded area or by trying to catch them just before they go out the door and tell them in private what had happened.
3. Besides a HIPAA Patient Release of Information form, list 4 other items that are found in the medical record.
Besides a HIPPA Patient Release of Information form, the four other items that can be found in the medical records are: the patient’s medical history, medications prescribed operations, and other medical procedures.
