Dear STHC Colleagues,

We are currently revising our access policies and procedures at 
Children’s Hospital Boston in order to provide broader access to 
our collections. We have gathered a lot of information from other 
“covered entities” detailing HIPAA compliant access policies. We 
would like to provide researchers with the option to appeal 
decisions by the hospital that deny them access to records. Thus, 
we need to iron out an appeal process. Do any of your institutions 
have such a process in place and if so, would you be willing to 
share it with us? 

Thank you for your help with this matter.
