-----Original Message----- From: Street, Bunny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 9:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Release of information I am seeking further clarification about the release of patient information primarily from the Emergency Department scenarios. How are other health care providers interpreting the Privacy regs regarding situations such as trauma patients (burns, auto accidents, head injuries, gunshots,etc). Current practices often involve releasing general location of burns and a body percentage; indication that head injuries were involved; that a gunshot or stabbing was sustained; etc. Thank You Leslie Street Privacy Specialist Mountain States Health Alliance Johnson City, TN 37604 ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, go to: http://snip.wedi.org/unsubscribe.cfm?list=ivacy and enter your email address. ********************************************************************** To be removed from this list, go to: http://snip.wedi.org/unsubscribe.cfm?list=privacy and enter your email address.
