We are currently looking at a product that would allow patients to enter demographic, past history, insurance information, etc via a web form. They would setup their own password/id and be responsible for updating the information. Whenever they were treated at one of our facilities or a physician associated/on staff with one of our facilities, that information could be viewed/verified by the caregiver. Before setting up the account, the patient would have to click on a "I agree" button attached to the privacy notice/disclaimer. I think just this part of the setup is OK, but the kicker is that individuals would be allowed to setup information on multiple users, including spouses, parents, etc and I just don't think this will fly under HIPAA since that information would be widely available without their knowledge or consent. Is anyone else allowing patients to create these repositories? Do you allow them to enter information on multiple individuals, including other adults? And, how are you handling the HIPAA issues? Thanks Pam
