Patient Conditions
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects all patients’ privacy. Our patients have the right to refuse any release of their information.
Patient confidentiality, privacy and safety are among our highest priorities. We do not release patient information beyond what is allowable under HIPAA without written consent from the patient, the patient’s guardian for minors or the patient’s next of kin.
Under HIPAA, we can release information about the condition of a patient only if the requestor’s inquiry contains the patient’s first and last name, date of birth and/or town of residency. Without complete and accurate information, we cannot release any information.
If we can release the condition, we provide only relevant information. A patient’s status is defined as:
- Undetermined: Patient is awaiting assessment.
- Treated and transferred: Patient has received treatment and was transferred to a different facility.
- Treated and released: Patient has received treatment but was not admitted.
- Good: Patient has excellent health indicators, including stable and normal vital signs. Patient is comfortable and conscious.
- Fair: Patient has favorable health indicators, including stable and normal vital signs. Patient is conscious but may be uncomfortable.
- Critical: Patient has unfavorable health indicators, including unstable vital signs that are not within normal limits. Patient is unconscious.
- Serious: Patient has questionable health indicators, including unstable vital signs that are not within normal limits. Patient is acutely ill or injured.
