Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Bringing Access To Health Records

In a general medical record a patient is entitled to a copy of his or her record, the only thing they would have to do

There has been a delay in completing this wellness check. Ms. Bell has been out of the State of Michigan for the winter. Coordination of the visit was determined by her return to Michigan. This is a onetime visit that per attorney Mr. Goodwin needed to be coordinated with the prior nurse case manager Joyce Lucas from Wellspring Case Management. On 5/16/18 I met with Ms. Bell and her husband along with Ms. Lucas

I am passionate on helping people and making changes in others’ lives. Like I stated before, my mother had been trapped herself in the apologetic emotion for years. The mental burden had made her down. Therefore, I decided to help my mother get rid of the self-accusation, by using the knowledge I learned in the Human Services major. To illustrate, I was telling her that it was not her fault of divorce, and she was not showing me the negative image of a marriage. Instead, I admire her braveness of ending a marriage when it was necessary, especially in the time when people were stereotyping divorced women and at the place where people were being judgmental. Now, her self-blameless has been reduced, and she told me that she was not felt as guilty

As a patient you (or your personal representative) have the right to view and receive a copy of your medical and billing records from physicians, pharmacists and health insurance provider. This record can be electronic or a paper copy. Patient’s can also request that their health records be sent to another health care provider. A health care provider or health plan may

“The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 made it illegal to gain access to personal medical information for any reasons other than health care delivery, operations, and reimbursements” (Shi & Singh, 2008, p. 166). “HIPAA legislation mandated strict controls on the transfer of personally identifiable health data between two entities, provisions for disclosure of protected information, and criminal penalties for violation” (Clayton 2001). “HIPAA also has privacy requirements that govern disclosure of patient protected health information (PHI) placed in the medical record by physicians, nurses, and other health care providers” (Buck, 2011). Always remember conversations about a patient’s health care or treatment is a violation of HIPAA. “All PHI is included in the privacy requirements for example: the patient’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition; the provision of health care to the individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual, and that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe it can be used to identify the individual” (Buck, 2011). Other identifiable health information would be the patient’s name, address, birth date and Social Security Number (Keomouangchanh, 2011). (Word count 197)

I went to Free Clinic on Wednesday in part to get away from all that is going on currently, and I quickly realized that I couldn’t escape the realities many face today in America.

I have had multiple clinical practices, however, out of all the experiences during my shifts, there is one particular event that holds great meaning for me. This event happened on my fifth clinical day of this semester, which was the day I first dealt with two clients.

I was lucky enough to be able to do my intern at the same organization that I am currently

My experience with EHR has been generally positive. I'm not that greatly familiar with them but from what I've seen, it has been really great when it comes to accessing patient charts and history. It helps to organize and improve quality of patient care. The components of the EHR include the patient management component, the

I have earned 5 hours for this activity by learning about my career goals and medical schools in general. I recently visited the University of Florida's campus and visited the UF Health Center. They have a very nice facility and they do a lot of research. It is now the goal to get into UF's medical school. We did talk to an admissions counselor, who suggested that as soon as I get into college, I should started doing internships and be a part of a research team. This will be an area of growth I will need to work on since I tend to be shy when it comes to going certain organizations I am new to.

One thing that did not go as I expected was maintaining professional boundaries with a patient because one of the patients was using appropriate word and make me uncomfortable during the second weeks of clinical which is I didn’t expect to be happening. The second experience that did not go as expected was unexpected behavioral change during community group discussions

I have identified this Agency as a site that will integrate my education as a Health Services Manager. The site supervisor will help me in developing different plans that will coordinate with various emergency personnel at the state, local, and municipal levels, and make sure emergency contingencies are covered. I will be using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of any problems that I would encounter while doing my internship. I will develop a further understanding of the challenges that I will be facing with when responding to patients. This would also help me with my communication

Patients have multiple rights afforded to them by the organization as mandated by government regulations. Patients have the right to obtain and inspect their health records and dispute any item that they feel is not accurate. The patient must make the request in writing and Hawaii Health Systems must comply within 30 days of that request. Not only can they view their records, but they have the right to restrict who

I have more than 2 years of experience in working with public health agencies. I have worked for six months with Environment Canada as an Assistant Program Officer. Duties I have performed as an Assistant Program Officer are:
