Information to be shared

  1. A limitation in the length of time a patient's information can be shared shall be set.
    (Limitation on time that patient's information can be shared– this one has to be discussed. But the law says- may retain personal information for as long as necessary for the purpose of their collection-See DOA sec.11-f)
  2. PHIE shall require institutions health facilities to share information exclusively for continuity of medical services (with request to present facility).
  3. All diagnostic records are intended for viewing only to maintain the confidentiality and so not to violate the hospital procedures on reproducing certified true copy of records.
  4. Redefine the concept of sharing (e.g. the fact that the consent is signed, it implies that you are allowing your records to be shared.)
    (Under the Privacy Guidelines, the recommendation is consent has to be obtained twice: (1) Processing of Personal health information within PHIE framework and (2) access to Personal Health Information by another health care provider.)
    (As in the sample form we formulated sometime ago, there are 2 aspects or 2 decisions for consent to be accounted for: consent to PHIE participation-basically data warehousing- and shared patient records.)
