>>> "Catherine Lohmeier (Consultant)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/23/02 07:55PM >>>> NCHICA prepared a white paper titled "Guidance for Identifying Designated Record Sets under HIPAA". (does anyone have the link?) The paper describes the obvious records...medical and financial. It also describes other catagories that are very broad such as "working records" (telemedicine, coding worksheets, utilization review worksheets etc.), and records/information collected on your behalf by a Business Associate and health information in all types of media (paper, oral, video, etc...) when such information is created or maintained for the purpose of making decisions about individuals... In my opinion, this sounds like the designated record set can be huge and we had better know where all those little pieces of information reside in case someone invokes their right of access. I see us doing some serious centralization of information.

We are modifying our existing system to support the ability to view or print a member's PHI that we use to make decisions regarding an individual for utilization management. For example, I use 9 out of the 18 individually identifiable health information identifers to approve an authorizaton. These 9 identifiers become our designated record set that we used to make a decision about the member. We are applying the same rule in any situation where we may make decisions for a member.
