- HIPAA CONSIDERATIONS:
Faith Jones, RN-Care Corodination Specialist. I wanted to point out the value of sharing patient information across the transitions of care such as between the nursing home and the physician office. Both the physician and the nursing home are considered covered entities and sharing information on a patient between the care team does not require any release of information. It is considered coordination of care and coordination of care is considered health care operations and as such the sharing of information is allowable. Please see the language from HHS.gov on care coordination and continuity of care.

“The HIPAA Privacy Rule permits a covered entity to disclose PHI to another covered entity for its own health care operations purposes, or for the health care operations of the entity receiving the information. If the disclosure of PHI is for the health care operations of the recipient covered entity, the Privacy Rule requires that (i) each entity either has or had a relationship with the individual who is the subject of the PHI being requested, (ii) the PHI pertains to that relationship, and (iii) the disclosure is for a health care operation listed in paragraphs (1) or (2) of the definition of health care operations or for health care fraud and abuse detection or compliance. 45 CFR 164.502(a)(1)(ii); 45 CFR 164.506(c)(4). Case management and care coordination are among the activities listed in paragraph (1) of the definition of health care operations.”
