Although we usually get the MARs before admit, why
not just have the resident sign the release of medical information and send it
to the hospital requesting the nurses notes that contain the IV
documentation? This works for us. Good luck.

Subject: HIPAA
We are having
difficulties with the local hospital in regards to not giving us the IV
flowsheets or the IV that is signed off on the mar. The hospital says
that they have changed their charting format, and are not signing them
off on the mar, instead they are documenting the IV's in nurses notes.
According to them we cannot have access d/t the HIPAA laws. Several
different people have called and were told the same thing... We even
asked if they could cover up the nurses notes and sent just the IV
section.
Can someone please
send me the documentation on HIPAA stating we have the right to this
information so I can forward it to the hospital?
Thx in
advance!
