Senile dementia is a disease of old age.   The person's thinking and reasoning powers are damaged.  Sometimes the person seems to be rational and is in the here and now in their thinking and reasoning and other times they will go off on a tangent that is totally unrelated to what was talked about.   The psychosis can take many forms:  the senior may have misplaced the keys--and become paranoid that someone stole them or was hiding them from him/her. ; or the senior may be paranoid that the pills the doctor prescribed is really poison so that the relatives can get all his money.   etc

Look at other business' privacy report to get an idea of what is important.  About 2 years ago a Federal law was passed that mandated medical records holders, like doctor's offices and insurance companies, to have a printed privacy policy and to distribute it to all people whose records they handle.  Ask a Doc or hosp. or insurance company for a copy of theirs.  They will be happy and are required to give it to you.

i work in a medical records department, so i know the only way to get records is for you to request them. your medical office should have a request of records form or you can request in writing your medical records to be sent to you or your doctor. it depends on what he is treating you for and if it is an ongoing condition. he shouldn't but could stop seeing you while waiting for your records.

This is commonly done when a doctor retires , records are sent to the doctor taking over for him , records aren't looked at unless you call and want to be seen by this physician , so if you don't want this new one retrieve your records but first find a doctor excepting new patients... your former doc found one and apparently thinks he/she  is qualified to be your doctor

HIPAA laws say that you are obligated to a copy of your medical records.  Call your doctor's office and they should comply (some may charge you a copy fee).

Try HIPPA.com that should give you the information you need.

You have a right to examine your medical records and get copies.  (By Federal Law-part of HIPAA Law http://www.hipaaguidelines101.com/\n\nI believe you can add information, a letter or demand a correction if it is truly inaccurate.

It goes to show you that in your country health care is a business. Thank God it is not like that in Canada... yet! That in its self is a crime. I'm pretty sure that they are your property. Seeing how it is confidential information about you. Shame to your doctor he sounds pretty unethical anyways. Time to get a new one.

I don't know, specifically, what kind of records you are looking for, but do a search of "Medical Malpractice" (put the words, in quotes, in your browser).  You will get court cases and stories about such suits.\n\nwww.findlaw.com is the only law site I have at my fingertips, at the moment.  There (in a search), you will get legal decisions of malpractice suits...  Facts of the cases are presented therein.

First thing is to check with the hospital as they have to keep a detailed record of the persons whom they employ. Second should teh records not be as accurtae as you would like you should look up the original business address and from tehre check teh small business bureau to see if the the comapny is still in existence if it is not then you will have to look at the over all pictures you have and take them to be be scanned touched up or do it your self. The main point is that if you have some coopys you can always get new prints of the ones you have in your poession.

You might be able to get in with a P3, but it will be hard. If joining up is something that you feel the need to do, and you are fairly confident that it will not bring about a relapse, get ahold of your med records, things have a tendencey to fall out of them from time to time. I am not saying you should falsify your records, I am just saying you could check.

You and the hospital are the only ones. And the hopital only knows what is on paper. Hippa, is placed in all the paper work. It lets you know who can review medical info and who can not. The scary thing is that BIG BROTHER has some control on medical records. Though you are to be notified of anyone requesting the information
