What a strange way to ask how you can read your own medical records.  Call the facility, ask for Medical Records, tell them what you'd like to do and ask how you do it.

u have a very legitimate complaint. the government made specific laws called hippa to protect patients from this. the hospital should have an employee that specifically handles this complaint. you should ask for someone in administration who this is. there may be a gov. website also, look up hippa on google or something to see. you should know that the person responsible will probably be fired if u choose to pursue. u can also talk to an attorny as u could be compensated if u can prove damages

I'd contact the hospital and ask to see your medical record from the period. I'd also try and find out what your rights are if you are denied access. Under most FOI rules, you are allowed access to your records held by most Government Departments. If you are in the US, you own the right to your records.

It is "Details of Registrants".  Its form Abbey Medical Centre.   They keep comprehensive personal  and medical data on patients including correspondence from other health professionals about General Practice Surgery.\n\n  Their address is : 19 Abbey Street\n                             Ennis Co. \n                            Clare     Ireland

I believe that depends on the state she resides in. Some are privilege states(like Ohio for e.g), which have the privilege of maintaining patient record secrecy even if a court of law asks for it, and some are confidentiality states(like KY for e.g) , where the doctor is allowed to maintain secrecy until a time when the courts ask for details. By and large, her doctor will have to maintain confidentiality, whichever state she is in. Unless she is some real danger. Hope this helps.

unlike criminal background, mental illness is not on your record. In fact the hospitals are not allowed to state that you have been a patient there unless it has been supoenaed to go to court which it would have to be supreme court on a felony charge. Now if you mental illnes is a disability and you get a federal check for it then there could be issues but if you went in the hospital for something like suicide, then no, nooone will ever know unless they knew you were in there or you tell them but it won't stop you from buying a gun.\n\nIf any hospital released ANY information on you without your consent or a court order asking for your records (and there is not such thing as a standing court order that is there to collect patient data for any thing) that hospital just violated your rights and you can sue them. What paperwork you sign stays in the hospital for the hospital's records. NCIC is there for Law Enforcement to use as a way to connect to other agencies when looking for missing persons, stolen items, wanted person, not to tell everyone that you have been in a mental institute.

Most states have laws that state you have legal rights to your own medical records but almost all of them also say that the institution can charge you for the copies,etc. Sorry your just SOL

This is horrible. I can't believe they did this to you. Holding a patient down has to be reviewed and has many checks and balances here. The patient has to be a danger to themselves/others. You obviously weren't.I would sue. I would speak with an attorney and see what records they can get and see what legal recourse there can be. First and foremost complain complain complain. Write a letter to the hospital administration explaining how upset you are. They will investigate extensively and will inform you of the results. Good luck and I am so sorry that this happened to you.

Try the Texas Medical Board's website www.tmb.tx.us\nIt may be that you are thinking of HIPAA which is a federal law.\n\nI'd contact a bonded document destruction company and ask them if they are authorized to do medical records  They'll come to you, either shred the files on site or take them off to be shredded and give you a receipt.

Good luck...its hard to unring the bell sometimes. Your existing medical records are out there and there is little you can do to "erase" them.\n\nYou can limit some of the future information from getting too wide spread.  A new federal law on medical privacy, HIPAA, went into effect April 14, 2003.  See the link below

Hmm.  you mean you were hospitalised and want to get your own discharge forms (or that of your minor child)?  I doubt you could get it online but can prolly get the info on who to contact and how to obtain copies of what you need,.  Most of the hosps in my area charge 50cents per page.. for anything!  In fact, I need to get copies of one of my surgical records.. so, if you find you can get it online, let me know, k?

Medical records and release of information is part of what is the HIPPA law...This law was established several years ago when President Clinton was in office. It protects you and me against release of private personal medical information unless authorized by you to parties that deem it necessary for your care. This means when go to a physician/dentist, you sign release of information permission so that they can disclose information about you for insurance purposes or get medical information about you for your care. This also means that they can only ask for information when it is necessary and only what is needed. This doesn't give everyone connected with your care to have free ability to delve into your medical or personal information for "just good reading." If it can be proven that your personal and or medical information was released without your permission or obtained other than to provide care for you, you can sue that person or establishment. I would read more about the HIPPA law to know all the details. I know this information because I am a nurse and practice it everyday.

well most patient health records allow doctors to keep track of progress of the patients illnesses. it also allows them to keep track of the medication he/she is being given, and based on that information they can make different recommendations for later. it is more or less a personal profile of the patients that keeps changing everytime they have a checkup.it can also come in handy if you go to a different hospital..cuz it allows the new doctors to pull up your records from a shared database and give you the right medication without jeopardizing your  health.\nalthough im not sure what you mean by the values of a patients health record...:S...

As mentioned, this is a federal law, so there really aren't any state by state issues.\n\nHIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) gives the patient the right to view their records.  It does not matter if the practitioner is an MD, PhD, MSW, etc.  The practitioner (all of the above) can choose to redact portions of the record if they feel that the material can cause safety issues for the patient, but they cannot refuse the entire record.\n\nThe practitioner may charge reasonable fees for providing a copy of your record, as he is right in stating the record belongs to him.\n\nIf you don't get a resolution, you may file a complaint with  the Secretary of Health and Human Services through the Office for Civil Rights, US Department of Health and Human Services, 200 Independence Avenue, SW, Room 509F HHH Building, Washington, D.C. 20201\n\nPlease don't consider this legal advice in any way, but I work for a behavioral health care organization, and I asked our HIPAA compliance officer who confirmed the above to be accurate.

First thing is to check with the hospital as they have to keep a detailed record of the persons whom they employ. Second should teh records not be as accurtae as you would like you should look up the original business address and from tehre check teh small business bureau to see if the the comapny is still in existence if it is not then you will have to look at the over all pictures you have and take them to be be scanned touched up or do it your self. The main point is that if you have some coopys you can always get new prints of the ones you have in your poession.
