Same as Mary. We do not release the chart to anyone. We send a trained staff member to sit with the surveyor and only give them what they ask for.

I do not release a chart to anyone. I bring the specific items to the surveyor and I sit there with it while they look at it.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Releasing the Entire Employee Health Chart
I'm in a private 400 bed community hospital in North Carolina. We routinely send information from the Employee Health chart for regulatory
review, such as when OSHA, the Joint Commission or the NC Department of Health is on site. We send only specific information from the chart, such as vaccinations, TST's FIT tests pr Hep B immunity.
The hospital's "compliance" and "legal" departments are asking Employee Health Services to release the entire chart to them prior
to these reviews. Does anyone do this, or release the entire employee health chart to any other departments owned by the hospital, or is it standard to release only information that's asked for to your own hospital's legal/compliance departments?
I would appreciate any input since I'm having trouble finding this specific information.
Thanks!
