I am aware that state law requires this reporting, however, for our cancer registry program, we follow patients progress to be accredited by and in accordance with the American College of Surgeons. If we have to obtain a patient's authorization and the patient refuses, we have not met our obligation... how are hospitals interpreting this process under the HIPAA guidelines? Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Tina C.
