Parker Poe attorneys regularly advise physician groups, hospital systems and other health care providers on the rules and regulations concerning medical records. We counsel clients on general issues specific to medical records ranging from third-party access and transfer of records to appropriate storage and disposal. We also advise clients regarding preservation and production of medical records during investigations and litigation, patient information appropriate for inclusion in (and exclusion from) medical records, and disciplinary actions for employees/staff members who fail to complete medical records in a timely manner. In addition, we have assisted clients with concerns regarding electronic medical records, personal health records, permissible disclosures under federal and state laws and responses to patient requests for amendment under HIPAA.
