Notes de l'éditeur
QRS services are not usually considered covered entities because they do not bill.
The name of the patient
The social security number of the patient
Information about your treatment of the patient
You may give patient information to a police officer or fire person if he or she is helping you with patient care.
You may not give a copy of your PCR or other protected information after the call to an officer or fire person who was not on the call.
You may not give patient information to a reporter or other persons on the scene who are not assisting in patient care or transport.
Although it is best to give your patient care report to a doctor or nurse, you may relay information to a ward or unit clerk who will relay the information to the person responsible for the patient’s care.
You must make a good faith effort to protect your patient’s privacy when assessing and treating your patient. That means you should lower your voice when speaking to the patient, if there are bystanders close by.
A provider does not need to have a business associates agreement with a hospital unless the hospital carries out functions not related to patient care, such as billing.
You do not need the patient’s signature that you have provided the Notice of Privacy Practices before you treat him or her.
If a patient or designee comes to your station and asks for a copy of a patient care record, you should inform the person of your organization’s privacy practices and direct him or her to the appropriate individual.
The privacy officer oversees the privacy policies and procedures and complaints concerning privacy.
