[Previous Posting] [Next Posting] Re: HIPAA Covered Entities & Access Appeals
Phoebe, Thanks for your response. I was not clear on a few things in my original post. The hospital hasn’t denied anyone access to records yet. We’re trying to plan everything out so we have procedures in place if the decision making body were to deny access. We have an IRB at Children’s, but archival research is outside of their scope. For most straight forward requests, the Hospital Archivist will review the application and grant access to records once PHI has been redacted. Depending on the request, a determination might be made by the Archivist that requires consultation with various groups within the organization which may include our IRB, Compliance, Medical Records, Legal or perhaps all four. I am interested in discussing the process in place at Johns Hopkins and learning if you have a set of criterion the Privacy Board relies on in its decision making process or if it tends to be more organic/case by case.
