We send out for our xrays (they are not done internally)

We send outside for labs

BBP labs done internal are coded without emp name

EH has their own medical records..we do not use the hospital system

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
