Help with the privacy of your medical records?
There are rules and regulations for hospitals and any service you partisicpate in to make sure your medical records are kept confidential. Can anyone help me think of three specific things that not only me but my medical provider can do to keep the records private? I know that by making sure the staff is fully aware of the HIPAA rules and having a proper trained staff is one. I also know that by watching all papers that I personally am signing helps keep my records confidential. Can anyone else think of more ways for both me and the provider? Thanks.
Shred all your paper work that you no longer need. I worked in a film library for a couple of years and we made sure that we, the employee, were the only ones who had access to the files (i.e. kept doors locked from the public). We also changed from patient ssn to a medical identification number that was solely used for that hospital. This limited the use of ssn in a more public area (i.e. check-in desk). If you have your personal medical records on your computer, make sure they are encoded to prevent hackers from stealing your information.
