RE: NPP and recurrent patients

[Noel, Linda A.]

The NPP is given to patients one time only unless there is a change.  If there is a revision to the NPP then ring patients are to given a copy of the revised NPP upon their next visit.  It is up to the CE to track who has received the NPP and when.   Linda Noel Corporate Privacy Officer Corporate Compliance Orlando Regional Healthcare 321-843-8693 -----Original Message----- From: Traci Winter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 11:38 AM To: WEDI SNIP Privacy Workgroup List Subject: NPP and recurrent patients OK time to open another can of worms.   It is not unusual for us to discharge a patient and have them return to our services multiple times. Do have to give them a copy of the NPP each time we admit them to services? Their medical records are only maintained on site for the past year and current year, after that they are sent to an off site storage facility. Should we just add a statement to the acknowledgement stating a copy of the NPP wasn't provided or was declined due to receipt at a previous time of admission. I know we had this option with our patients rights booklet we gave out at time of admission to hospital patients.   Traci Winter Hospitals Home Health Care, Inc. --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
