The Health Information Exchange provides participating providers access to your past and present medical information to make better decisions and coordinated care plans across all your providers. If you would like to opt out of this program, please notify our Registration staff.
Effective April 14, 2003 – Each time you visit a hospital / long-term care facility, physician or other healthcare provider, a record of your visit is made. Typically, this record contains your symptoms, examination and test results, diagnoses, treatment, plan for future care or treatment and billing-related information. This notice applies to all the records of your care generated by the hospital/clinic whether made by hospital/clinic personnel, agents of the hospital/clinic or your personal doctor. Your personal healthcare provider may have different policies or notices regarding the use and disclosure of your medical information created in the office or clinic.
