Transferring Medical Records Between Providers

Stay compliant when transferring medical records.

Health care providers must navigate a myriad of laws, rules, and regulations that impact their duties pertaining to custodianship, retention, and transfer of medical records. While the provider deals with retention and custodianship requirements on a daily basis, understanding the implications of a wrongful transfer of medical records may not be as common. These issues are especially important in dealing not just with the patient and their request for transfer of medical records but when dealing with third parties who may require them. These instances can include providers sharing records in a shared patient situation or a formal health information exchange, another provider assuming custody and control of the medical records in lieu of the retirement of a provider or the closing of a health care entity, due diligence issues when a provider is a party to a business transaction, or how to respond to audits or other de-mands from governmental and payor parties. This topic will provide an analysis of how a provider may appropriately plan for, coordinate, and transfer medical records in various instances. It will address common mishaps that arise in this process and how to respond when they occur. It is imperative to recognize the duties involved with maintaining medical records and the repercussions if those duties are not met.
