Thanks for your reply. I did find what I needed. In NJ regulation states
that we have 2 business days to provide a copy of the medical record.

Subject: RE: Medical Record Release
question
It is my impression that upon the death of
a resident that the facility may choose to release the record but isn't
obligated to. If the facility chooses not to release, the family
would need to have a legal writ/subpoena to access the medical record.
This is in Ca.
Does
anyone know the law regarding medical record release to family upon death
of the resident. I have a family request to obtain the complete
medical record of a resident who recently died. I have been told you
must do this within 24 hours of the request. Is this
correct? Thanks.
