#NHITWeek Expanding Patient Rights to Access their Health Information

Jocelyn Samuels – Director – Office for Civil Rights (OCR), HHS

Access and Empowerment is extraordinarily important

HIPAA established patients have rights to access their health information. This was a critical doctrine.

Patients have an express rights to their Electronic records.
Patients will have a right to get their lab results directly from the laboratory. The deadline for compliance is October 6th.

Providers will have access to OCR information via smartphone and tablet via the medscape.com
