A covered entity may deny a patient request to amend their PHI if the entity was not the originator of the PHI. In the case of hospitals, is the originator of the PHI the hospital itself or the clinician who wrote the information? For ex., if a patient saw a physical therapist at a certain hospital, then later asked the hospital to amend PHI written by the physical therapist but the physical therapist is who longer working there, can the hospital say "we did not create that information so we have no obligation amend it" or do they till have to amend it?
Thanks for your help!
