What happens when a health care provider other than the originating provider tries to access a document from a Living Vault?
The answer to this question depends on state law. In general, a provider other than the originating provider seeking a document from a Living Vault is shown a message indicating that the document exists, but is not accessible, and giving the inquiring provider the location of the document so that they can contact that provider directly to obtain a copy. Some states make it a crime to withhold an advance directive. In these states, documents stored in a provider’s Living Vault are released to other providers. The system is sophisticated and flexible enough to allow access to be restricted by state or by particular facilities within a health system.
