about hipaa laws
under the hipaa laws do you document on a run sheet that a patient has HIV?
Im on a fire dept as an Emt and just had our hipaa law training but never heard anything about reporting or documentation on HIV
Laws governing the release of AIDS and HIV-related information vary greatly from state to state. In New York and Maine, for example, the regulations are very stringent: AIDS and HIV-related information should only be released upon execution of a consent form specifically designed for that purpose; a general release form is not adequate. The form should be witnessed, and should include a notice prohibiting redisclosure.
maybe this will help too:
Does a ambulance provider have the means to look at transfer documents concering pt. transfers? This is asked due to concerns of being a EMT-P transfering pt’s from one hospital to another
Answer: The HIPAA Privacy Rule permits an ambulance service or other health care provider to disclose protected health information about an individual, without the individual’s authorization, to another health care provider, such as a hospital, for that provider’s treatment of the individual. See 45 CFR 164.506 and the definition of “treatment” at 45 CFR 164.501.
