Absolutely agree with Michelle - the hospital is using HIPAA as a cop out. Go to your Privacy Officer and she can produce the documentation from the regulation that permits this type of disclosure. You must push for those records.

Corn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 12:48 PM Subject: IV Fluids Does anyone have a D/C Summary sheet which includes IV fluid amounts received during a hospital stay. Our hospital will not release medical records to out off site facility due to HIPPA regs. How does everyone else get this information. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
