HIPAA Quick Reference
Guide For Employees
As an employee may I
access my own PHI (e.g. electronic, written)?Your access to your own PHI must be based on the same procedures available to other patients not based on your job-related access to our information systems (e.g. OACIS, EPIC, Lastword). For example, if you are waiting for a lab result or want to view a clinic note or operative report, you must either contact your physician for the information or make a written request to the Health Information Management (HIM) Department.
