Re: Followups

["Alex Markwell" <bf2rn@home.com>]

Ms. Snow,
Follow up letters are still allowable to the extent that 1) the pt's name is
not mentioned in the letter; 2)general follow-up information is included; 3)
a disclaimer citing your State's governmental regulation number followed by
something to the effect of "the preceding information is confidential
pursuant to (your state) State Regulation # blah! blah! blah! and is not for
general distribution. It is intended for those individuals involved with
this patient's care.

Something to that effect. Ask your hospital's attorney's or risk management
to reference the exact statute that covers this.

Good luck.
