My spouse, parent, or sibling signed a “Friends and Family” consent for me to get information. Does this entitile me to proxy access to their online medical record?
No. The Friends and Family form does not establish proxy access. “Friends and Family” has been set up for two purposes: • So that the Everett Clinic can leave messages on an answering machine. • So that family or friends (care providers) can get stat verbal information from the provider on a limited basis. The Friends and family form does not establish permission for written or detailed information to be exchanged. If the care provider has obtained a guardianship or a durable power of attorney (POA), then proxy access to the online medical record can be processed for the individual named in the guardianship or POA. **Reminder the POA must specifically address the right of the responsible person to make health care decisions for the patient. The Medical Records Department must have a written copy faxed to them for scanning: Fax number is: 425 339-5439.
