Because I think it is important that those of us working in healthcare remember the practical consequences of the regs we advise clients on, I am going to live tweet my own attempt to obtain a copy of the record of a single clinic visit a few months ago . . . #HIPAA #Really? Clinic visit happened in January, and now I have a need for a copy of the record. Doctor was at a clinic that isn't convenient to walk into personally, so I called and asked the process. Told that I need to access the patient portal to get the authorization form. So far so good.
