[MCOH-EH] Employee requests for their own records

[Kate Miller]

We can send them snail mail or secure email them to only their personal email. If it is going to any other person or institution we need a records release. Our compliance team says that is okay.

If an employee requests a copy of their own employee health records…like TB screening and flu vaccination…does your organization require an Authorization of Release of Information to be on file? This would be the process for requesting records from our medical records department and our compliance folks are thinking we in Employee Health should have the same requirements.

What do you all do?
