Hello, My hospital just expanded and opened another hospital. The laboratories are separate, however we are all in the same lab system. The system recognizes the 2 different sites, but everyone has access to both sites results. My question is, does anyone else have this? I feel like there is a HIPAA issue here. I have worked at two other organizations that had multiple entities and I have never had access to the other labs' results, unless I had access to an EMR and then I could see the results there, but never in my lab system. I can only enter things into the other sites if I move the specimen and receive it into the other site, but just having access when many of us don'r work over there seems like a problem to me. Also, because we are linked, the system doesn't recognize that a type and screen done at the other site doesn't apply to my site. Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks!
