Just to clarify the HIPAA regulations. HIPAA does
not require any authorization or release be signed for disclosure of
information for treatment, Payment or Operations. The sharing of patient
information for transfer is treament and is permitted under HIPAA (this is
clearly stated in regulation).

Subject: RE: IV Fluids
Suggestion: get your medical director to sign a
"required documents at transfer list" that includes medication sheets and Iv
summaries, (and whatever else you want, H&P, op notes, lab etc) as well
as a "release of info" statement for the patient/poa to sign. Then, whoever is
responsible for the screening eval would get that signed by the client BEFORE
transfer. This will suffice for the HIPPA standard, and with your medical
director input, it has more weight with the hospital.
