Educate yourself before making statements - sm Posted: Mar 30th, 2021 - 12:17 pm In Reply to: You can’t take charts home - Against the rules
HIM-HIPAA Insider, November 20, 2006
The privacy and security rules do not explicitly prohibit a provider from taking charts off site. Instead, covered entities must establish policies, procedures, and practices that reasonably ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the information. This means ensuring that
the chart is secure at all times (e.g., in transport, when stored off-site)
in this case, no one other than the provider has access to the chart
processes are in place to access the information in the event of a disaster
