·         We do not order x-rays. The employee is  seen in the ED and the ED provider orders what is needed. We do not have access to the results. The case manager for our workers’ comp insurance carrier can get the results after the employees’ signs the 801, which has a release of information statement.

·         Employee Health has a protocol for standing lab orders for a BBP exposure and we do get a hard copy of the results sent to us, or we can view in the EMR, to determine the follow up needed.

Interested in knowing how other organizations handle Employee Health access to electronic medical records relating to treatment of employees for work-related injuries.  For example, employee is injured at work and Employee Health orders x-ray. Can Employee Health view radiologist’s report in employee’s EMR?  How about when an employee has a blood-body fluid exposure and has initial labs ordered by the ER.  Can Employee Health access those lab results in the EMR to determine appropriate follow-up?  Do other organizations require Employee Health to access records of medical testing for work-related injuries only through the Medical Records Department?

 

Thank you
