I think I'm a little lost here.  I've read HIPPA, the regs and the preample,
and my understanding is that the patient now has a legal right to copies of
his medical record and a right to contest the contents of that record.  Are
you saying that the IOM / HL7 are taking the position that the physician can
decide to withhold portions of that record?  Where can I find out more about
this?

Best regards,
Bill
