How are patient records maintained at HealthNation Connect?
Although we are not technically a covered entity, we follow the laws and regulations related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and patient privacy. The Member provides the medical history and is responsible for updates and any related medical information they choose to load into their medical record. Additionally, after each consultation, the physician supplements the patient record with his notes of the encounter. Provided the member has supplied the proper HIPAA release documents, the medical record can be shared with the member’s primary care physician facilitating continuity of care.
