Many jurisdictions require HIV and ARC reporting, as well. Many states have also enacted confidentiality provisions that prohibit health care providers from releasing HIV-related information without the patient's consent, although exceptions to the statutes authorize disclosure without consent to other health providers, spouses, and other persons under certain conditions set forth in the legislation. In addition, the patient may obtain access to his or her own records and may authorize release to third parties. Providers who violate the provisions are subject to liability. The patient usually has a private cause of action for damages and costs; in addition, the state may impose fines and jail terms for more egregious violations. Finally, courts may authorize disclosure of confidential HIV information in certain situations. In the absence of a statutory provision governing court-ordered disclosures, courts will balance the patient's privacy interest against the plaintiff's need to know and the public interest involved. Several states have enacted statutes that modify this traditional balancing approach, although it is unclear whether these statutes provide additional protection for health care providers and patients seeking to prevent disclosure of information. Health record practitioners should keep abreast of legislative and regulatory developments in their states that affect use and disclosure of AIDS patient records. Careful discussion with the health institutions' legal counsel of any situation not covered clearly by applicable statue or regulation is strongly recommended.","PeriodicalId":79757,"journal":{"name":"Topics in health record management","volume":"10 4","pages":"71-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20976276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Using the Deming quality improvement method to manage medical record department product lines.","authors":"S N Postal","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The above application of the quality improvement cycle provides insight into the use of the Deming method to address one of several identified customer needs and expectations obtained during the managing phase of product-line administration. Implementation of the quality improvement method requires a major commitment from all team members. Process improvement requires a willingness to be detail oriented. Gathering of statistics--such as analysis turn-around time--and evaluation are critical. This objective view of processes requires accountability and a commitment to change. Improvements focus on long-term problem resolution, not the quick fixes that result from addressing symptoms of problems. True problem resolution occurs by solving the root causes of variations. Medical record departments must move from being outcome oriented to being process focused. It is no longer feasible to be constantly putting out fires in an environment that demands well-planned and well-designed products that meet customers' expectations. The long-term management of product lines requires a systematic method of planning, doing, checking, and acting. The Deming quality improvement method provides a framework for positive change that focuses on quality processes resulting in a quality product that meets consumers' needs.","PeriodicalId":79757,"journal":{"name":"Topics in health record management","volume":"10 4","pages":"34-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20979015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
